This tutorial aims to explain in details how to download files from Usenet network using .nzb files. If you are an experienced user, your favorite Usenet client and Usenet provider, but if you are new then this step-by-step instruction might be very helpful.

Basically, to download files from Usenet network you require two things: Usenet download client (newsreader) and NNTP access (paid Usenet provider). We will show you how to download files online without any Usenet client configuration.

Step 1: Find .nzb file

Find a file on NZBScout you plan to download. We have chosen the movie “The Conjuring 2” as an example. Click on a button “Download NZB” like shown on the image below, and download .nzb file to your PC or other device.

NZBReader is extremely useful as it not only downloads files from Usenet, but also unpacks the archives and provides the ready to watch video file.

Generally, all files are posted to Usenet in archives: RAR or ZIP. In some cases, you download the archive and all you have to do is to extract it to your PC in order to extract the real files. In our example everything is done by NZBReader and we can download the movie in .mkv video format. I’ve just done this to show you that the movie can be watched without any additional steps:
