The .gba file extension identifies a GrabIt batch file. GrabIt was developed by Ilan Shemes for downloading content from Usenet, including binary newsgroups. A GBA file stores batch-download information for GrabIt rather than the downloaded content itself.
The format is associated with the Windows version of GrabIt and is not a general-purpose interchange format. It is normally treated as binary data and may use the application/octet-stream MIME type.
Open a GBA file with GrabIt on Microsoft Windows. The file is intended for use by GrabIt, so opening it in a text editor or another general-purpose program will not display its batch information correctly.
GBA files are not normally converted to another format. Use GrabIt to process the batch information and download the associated Usenet content; no general-purpose converter is normally required.
