NewsBin is a multithreaded news robot that automatically downloads and decodes binary posts to Usenet newsgroups. The program will take full advantage of high-bandwidth Internet connections by allowing multiple, simultaneous connections to your news server or servers. NewsBin includes resume capabilities to recover from lost connections. It reassembles multipart posts across multiple servers and includes real-time rendering of thumbnails when downloading images. Other features include yEnc encoding support, corrupt-post detection, per-server configurations including connection limits and download limits, NZB and BNS message ID file support, and advanced connection management.
Editor's review of NewsBin Pro Primarily, this program automates the downloading of binary files and news headers from Usenet. Its interface is much more attractive and easy to use than most Usenet programs. NewsBin Pro monitors specified groups, decodes all the binaries, and copies them into a directory. It automatically displays thumbnails of downloaded images.NewsBin downloads headers from all active servers across up to eight connections. All files are spooled, not just multipart ones, which helps you eliminate junk. The program downloads, decodes, and reassembles any file, including movies, music, pictures, and even software. If you want to save time on newsgroups, NewsBin is a must. However, only Usenet addicts are likely to pay $$35 for the client.
