(About the author)
 
     Main usage is to remove duplicate files from within a NZB file, set or sort the order of items and remove files from NZBs you don't want like extra Par2 files, sample AVIs, etc, etc. No dependencies and works while offline. Created with VB6 and tested on Windows XP(SP3). 02-06-2010: Fix for files in NZB from multiple groups. See included readme for more.

Note: Due to the size or complexity of this submission, the author has submitted it as a .zip file to shorten your download time. Afterdownloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses, but new viruses come out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them. For your own safety, please:
  1. Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
  2. NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
  3. Scan the source code with Minnow's Project Scanner

If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net including:McAfee.com

Thank you. I have been struggling with .NZB files for a while and this makes it much easier to know what is in there and control it.

Thanks!!

I gave you 5!

this has already been posted by yourself, whats new? Could it be that it now accepts all nzb files, because 99% of them fail to show anything and just comes up with an error.

New...Did some minor code fixes and usage changes, the reading/writing of NZB data hasn't really changed (see included readme).

The app is based on NZBs I've downloaded from US English binary groups and NZB files I create on usenetserver.com. I've been using it for over a year and it has never failed me so figured I'd post it just to share something.

If it doesn't work for you then just don't use it. ;-)

Ed Wilk: Go to Google and sear ch for the files and download any one of them, none of them load, your program doesn't work, its not a case of not knowing how to use it, your software is pre Windows 98.
