Also known as: NZB file
An XML file listing the Message-IDs of every article that makes up a file set, along with the newsgroups those articles live in and each segment's size and number. Devised around 2002 by an indexing site of the era, it is a shopping list rather than content: a newsreader reads it, requests the named articles from a provider, and reassembles the original files.
