 So, Prince, what you are implying that Bnr2 is not capable of
handling the Super Mega-Movie groups or groups that have hugh Rar
File headers. Um...... Trying to avoid any additional monetary
depletion of funds. RAr's, Par's and combining split files do not
present a problem for me. However I am trying to get a handle on nzb
files. They are kicking my deriere. Do you have to pay for the
individual software files plus pay for the Master Key? Seems a little
steep. I guess in the long run it is cheaper than going to some of
these websites and paying there subscription fee's for a moment of
e.......y.Thanks for the info. I just knew it was too good to be true
when I found a freeware program that handles multiple servers. It just
kind of goes against the spirit of ntttp. rus1807
