Ypost is a command line usenet binary file poster. It provides both uuencoding and yEnc encoding posting, speed throttling, and flexible segment reposting ability.

I wrote ypost because I wanted a command-line posting program that runs under
Linux command line, and the one that was available (newspost) didnt support yEnc or throttling. I did a few updates to newspost and resubmitted the changes, but I felt that beyond a cartain point, it made more sense for me to write a new system. I decided this partially because after having used C++ for the last few years, C leaves me very nervous - there are too many ways in which C++ is far safer than C (automatic destruction, etc) and I just felt a rewrite was in order.

The installation is pretty primative. Ypost is a simple program, I hope it will compile up on most machines. Just type "make" at the command line, and when its done, copy the "ypost" executable to wherever you like, I suggest /usr/local/bin.

spugnews is a GPLd usenet binary grabber.
spugnews has a simple command-line interface and the ability to perform rudimentary subject line analysis to group together articles that are part of the same file set.
Enhancements:
- internal yenc decoder (not as fast as the yenc module, but good for the impatient)
- work around for problem with hex encoding in newer (2.3+) versions of Python that affects yenc CRC check.
- status indicator for header refresh.
- incremental header writing (so if theres a problem when in the middle of downloading thousands of headers you dont loose what youve got so far)

- full-featured news reader
- multi-user access with individual profiles
- one click filtered access to all images within a newsgroup
- multi-server binary file support
- XFace support
- yEnc decoder
- stand-alone and Java servlet versions
- News RC File
- Header and article caching
- NZB support
- XPAT threading
- Binary file harvesting
- Watch List for monitoring followups
- RSS feed for each group
- Configurable threads list

cg is a semi-automatic newsgroup binary downloader. It assembles parts based on subject headers and then offers them in an editor for the user to choose which files he really wants.
cg is a automatic binary newsgroups downloader. It assembles parts based on subject headers and then offers them in an editor for the user to choose which files he really wants.
It supports decoding data in the following formats:
uuencode (both single- and multi-posting binaries)
MIME (multipart/mixed, message/partial; base64, quoted printable, x-uuencode) yEnc
Start it with cg somenewsgroup; `cg -h offers a short help, should you need it.
Enhancements:
- yenc support
- rename broken files to filename.broken
- CTRL-C/SIGINT handling: write rc file and quit after completely decoding current file.
- segfault fix (for postings of the type [422/7])
- ignore some uninteresting comment lines (no .desc file)
- dont assume last line before end is not allowed to contain data in uu data

KLibido is a graphical Usenet file grabber for KDE. KLibido supports multiple server, multiple download threads per server, .nzb files, queue management, etc...
Main features:
- Automatic joining of multi-part posts
- Automatic decoding of posts, using the uudeview library (yEnc supported) or an internal decoder
- Multiple servers support, with priorities and fallback if an article fails on a server and is present on another server
- Queue balancing: KLibido spreads the bytes load across servers with the same priority
- Multiple download threads per server support, with the ability to add or remove threads "on the fly"
- Gracefully handles network errors, timeouts, disconnects and out-of-space errors
- Acceptable (at least, by me :) memory usage (80-100 MB VMRss with several large groups open)
- Filter articles by subject and state (read, unread, complete, incomplete)
- Multi tabbed interface in IDEAl mode, to open multiple newsgroups at once
- KParts interface for previewing posts (.nfo, images, etc...) inside the program
- .nzb support
Download queue management:
- Pause (and resume) the queue
- Pause (and resume) the single posts
- Drag and drop the items around to change the download order
- Cancel download
- Lists of finished and failed items
- Granularity, with the ability to see the progress/status of the whole post and of the single articles of the post
- The progress of the download is saved and survives program exits/crashes
Enhancements:
- New option: do not automatically resize columns in headerlist (and remember columns sizes)
- New option: Do not automatically sort by subject (and remember the selected sort column)
- New option: remember order of columns in headerlists
- NEW: Show progress for decoding
- FIX: Dont crash while canceling articles during decoding (and really cancel the article)
- FIX: Cancel of update items while updating dbs now works
- new action: move to bottom of the queue
- FIX: correctly remember "maximized" status for main Window.
- NEW: Sort by number of articles in available groups list (i.e.: when subscribing to newsgroups)
- New shortcuts in headerLists: clear filter (Ctrl + C) and jump to the filter entry box (Ctrl + F)
- New option: dont show statusbar at startup
- NEW: French translation
- NEW: Progress dialog for db migrations
- FIX: Header dates now works for localized distributions as well
- NEW: During db migration/compact, articles are checked for consistency and discarded (KLibido should not crash anymore if there are bogus articles into dbs). A log of the discarded articles is created in the db dir (default: ~/klibido/db)
- Various bugfixes (see Changelog)
