NZB Groups Element

Also known as: groups element

The <groups> block in an NZB file element, listing the newsgroups where that file's articles were posted. A client uses it to issue a GROUP command before requesting articles, and multiple entries appear when a posting was crossposted. If a provider does not carry any of the listed groups, the download fails even though the Message-IDs themselves might be retrievable elsewhere.
