I tried searching for this, but couldn't find anything. For the past few years uploaders are obfuscating their file uploads for obvious reasons. The resulting name of the NZB is the correct name, but the resulting thing that comes out of them is <some_random_series_of_numbers.mkv>. I have to use Agent Ransack, set the file type to *.NZB and then search for the first 6 or so numbers, then rename the file. Usually, not a problem unless I have lots of files, then it's a real PITA. Can NewsBin somehow do this or is there some type of freeware where I can point it to the NZB, point it to the obfuscated files and do a mass rename?

1. Mac users interested in Mac app for nzb files generally download: NZB Drop 4.03. A comprehensive Usenet downloading tool that works with NZB files, a file format to identify binaries posted to Usenet newsgroups. NNTPGrab 0.7 Free. NNTPGrab is an open source usenet download program.
2. Astraweb recommended Newsbin Pro. Tried it and it was able to download complete files my other newsreader could only download partials of. Newsbin Pro also combined my rar files that I used to have to combine manually. Paid $30 for the other newsreader and it doesn't come with lifetime upgrades either.

3. I run newsbin on OSX through WinOnX. This is a WINE wrapper, and it is available in the Mac App Store. Install WinOnX, then run the newsbin installer (on Mac), and it will appear as an executable program within WinOnX. You do not need to load Parallels/VMWare/BootCamp or any other solutions to turn your mac into a pc first.

Newsbin Install procedure (MAC only) with winebottler resolved!!! (UPDATED to include backup and latest version installs) Thought I would share my two week long issue trying to install Newsbin on a Mac, It worked fine on version6.53 however 6.71 / 6.72 had issues (until now).
