Yes, I would assume you need international cap for it to work. Why don't you rather use the local news servers?

an NZB files is like a tracker file for the News Servers.. much like a Torrent file is for the BitTorrent Network.

You load up the small NZB file in the program and it tells the news server where to find the files for whatever content it is you are trying to download. The News Server then pulls the files for you and your client downloads the text files to your hard drive and decodes them into binary files. Usually they are archived with RAR archiver so you have to unarchive them.
 
ahh co0l.... i downloaded those 2 files....wish me luck...and still many thanx

OK, the original news servers (SAIX and IS) are usually heavily overloaded... but the news one (SAIX2) is working nicely (although it is just on trial).

Be aware also that these servers are shaped during business hours (weekdays).

The NZB files I gave you are all movies... but you should see some of them come down at full speed (cached) and slower speed (uncached).

There is a local site where we get our NZB files from (but it is closed to invites), there are however plenty of international sites which also serve up NZB files... such as...

Have you installed Grabit and set up a news server?

Then just double-click the NZB file and it will load into Grabit.

BTW, you don't have to download the extra PAR files... those are there for if the file is damaged, they will help to repair it. You can delete those from the download list and only load them if you need them.
