NZBPlayer - Usenet Client:

NZBPlayer is a unique and free Usenet Newsreader designed to download and stream high quality video binaries from Newgroups. If you are a serious Usenet user, then this program is a must have. If you are not a serious Usenet user, then NZB Player is the best reason to become one!

Features:

Open and play NZB files

NZBPlayer can open NZB files - this eliminates the need to download a large amount of headers! The NZB file tells NZBPlayer which binaries (files) to download and stream from Usenet. Video files on Usenet are usually split up across multiple files. NZBPlayer downloads those files from the Newsgroup, and plays the video contained within as it is doing so. It will work with any type of video file your external player supports - we recommend VLC, which can handle Avi (DivX, Xvid), Mpeg, 720p h264 to name but a few.

Play video files in multipart RAR sets

NZBPlayer can also play or open RAR video files "as is". This opens up many possibilities! For example, you can stream over FTP, or from Rapidshare. Simply queue up the RARs in the correct order, and once the first RAR file has downloaded, drag it onto NZBPlayer. You can then start watching the video while the remaining files are being downloaded in the FTP/Download manager.

Streamed files are saved to disk for later use

Any video file you watch will be stored in the "C:\NZBPlayer\avis" directory. You can choose a different directory in the settings. The video files there can be played again without the need to use your internet connection.

Automatic repair of downloaded binaries

In the event of any missing parts, NZBPlayer takes care of repairing the download binary files, provided there are enough par2 files available.

Multi-threaded NNTP downloading (up to 10 connections)

Using multiple connections allows you to fully utilise your bandwidth. A Usenet provider like Giganews will match your maximum download rate. If you have a 10Mbps internet line, Giganews will let you download binaries at 10Mbps!

Integrated NZB Browser

NZBPlayer has a built in browser to let you find NZBs more easily.

NZB Editor (Advanced)

The NZBEdit option lets you modify the NZB file before streaming the video.
