NAVGUIDE BINBOOK Tutorial
What is BINBOOK?
Binbook is a binary newsgroup indexer.
Binbook creates NZB files that can be used with a news reader to
download files from usenet groups.
How do I use BINBOOK?
Use the search option at the home page or click search or browse at top
menu to view the binaries indexed by this site.
When you find files you want, there are three ways to create an NZB for
the files:
1. The 'regular' way -
Click the check box next to the files that interest you. Click the
'Make NZB' button at the top of the search results to download an NZB
with headers for the selected files.
2. Grab it and go -
Click the 'grab' link next to the files you want to download. An NZB
with the selected files will be created.
This method requires
Javascript.
3. Add it to your queue -
Click the 'queue' link next to files you want to download. The files
will be added to a queue and displayed at the top of your screen.
Add as many files as you like. When you have selected all yor files,
click 'show all' and 'get NZB now' to download an NZB with all the
selected files.
What is this for? Sometime your search results span
multiple pages, or you need to download files from multiple groups.
With a simple check box you have to download a new NZB for every page
of search results. The queue is a mini NZB shopping cart that
stores all the files you want in a cookie on your computer. When you
are ready to get the NZB, the file IDs stored in the cookie are used to
create one NZB that contains all the files in your queue.
This method requires Javascript and
cookies.

downloaded NZB file with Grabit. Grabit will automatically download all
the files.
