Re: Re: BNR2 newbie question

BNR2 (bnreaper) is an extremely useful tool for
downloading files using the .nzb feature.

I use bnreaper exclusively for downloading doco's,
movies and bball games with very few problems as I
never have to dload headers. ie the dbase has a very
long time before it becomes corrupt. 

BTW you can have more than 1 bnreaper runing at the
same time. I don't, but suggest that you do if you are
downloading headers as well as using .nzb's.

? how do you get your .nzb files??
