BREIN Forces NZB-Portal.nl Offline
It probably didn't help that NZB-Portal.nl, a popular Dutch newsgroup indexing site, featured Wolverine as their second most popular NZB file. NZB files point the end user to content on the newsgroups. NZB files are similar in nature to .torrent files, however, there are significant differences.

Although .torrents may be more advanced, a well organized Usenet community compensates for any bogus data on the network.
