Well......
No problems - so no need to apologize :)
It was just me being a bit dozy
As to NZB's - I urge you to use em cos they are very easy, in fact they automate usenet to a
large extent. All you need is a newsreader which knows how to handle NZB's (all modern ones
do)and it imports, reads and downloads the required files all on its own with little or no
input from you apart from downloading the original NZB file (may need to tell the newsreader
where your internet downloads go and tick the odd box or two in settings). You can get the
NZB file posted by other folk, like Chev did, or you can go onto an NZB site like Binsearch,
where you merely choose which newsgroup or search for a named file then mark the files you
want and it downloads the NZB for you, for your newsreader to deal with. It is VERY useful
for older files or files which have been previously posted which you missed and these days
NZB's are stored for 3 years or more.

I'd give you a piece of my mind, but I'm on the last one
