SuperNZB is a Windows/macOS NZB downloader from TechSono Engineering that automates Usenet downloads, PAR repair, RAR extraction and SFV checking. Key points:
- Purpose: Opens NZB files, downloads parts from Usenet servers, repairs damaged files with PAR/PAR2, and extracts RAR archives.
- Platforms: Windows (including 64-bit builds) and macOS. Recent builds mention Windows 11/macOS compatibility.
- Performance: 64-bit builds claim substantially faster download + repair times versus older 32-bit versions.
- Features: multi-connection downloading, queue manager, integrated PAR & RAR decoders, SFV checker, server/connection management, job managers (PAR, RAR, move), and debug/test server tools.
- Licensing: Historically available as trial/demo with paid registration for full features. Some versions/tools (RAR/PAR/SFV decoders) are provided for free.
- Typical use case: Users who already find NZB files on indexers use SuperNZB to manage reliable, automated retrieval and post-processing from Usenet.
- Support/status: Development and support pages hosted by TechSono; downloads listed on software aggregators (e.g., CNET, Softpedia). Check TechSono’s site for the latest version, system requirements, and purchase/registration details.
If you want, I can:
- give a short setup guide (assume Windows 11), or
- compare SuperNZB to two modern alternatives (e.g., SABnzbd, NewsBin).
