The file extension NZB can be opened using multiple programs and applications. This reduces bandwidth and makes downloading the messages quicker and more efficient. When an NZB file is downloaded, the Usenet client reads each individual message identification number and then decodes the messages in a binary format so they can be read by the end user with a Usenet reader. Since the file is large, it must be divided into smaller parts which are identified with a message identification number. Each NZB file contains a header with a Usenet message identification number which is part of a larger file that has been posted to a Usenet newsgroup. NZB files are used for retrieving posts and other data from an NNTP server and from sites which are capable of being searched. The file extension NZB is categorized as a web file type which is created in an XML (Extensible Markup Language) format.
