You won't know if a request is futile until you have made it. Not all
films have been posted and nzbking does not index all posts.

It is not the nzb file that is infected, the actual post contains a
setup.exe file, a trojan, and the post will not be playable. This is not
uncommon for posts in those newsgroups. If you use SABnzbd to download,
it will detect the .exe and will abort the download after the first rar.
You should make a request for The Paperback Hero 1973 in
alt.binaries.multimedia.vintage-film.post-1960 or
alt.binaries.movies.xvid
If you have request for films made before 1960, you can make them in this
group
