How to use Newzleech:
Search for your subject of interest. Once you find the binaries select the files by checking the box to the left of each one. After all files are selected click the “Get NZB” button to download the associated .nzb file. You can also click the down arrow icon to the left of any file group to download the associated NZB file. Then open the file into your newsreader. Depending on how your Usenet client is setup you may be able to simply double click the .nzb file and have to automatically open up and download the contents.
