Attention fans and frustrated consumers of the Usenet Newsgroups! Announcing
*** News Rover ***
http://www.NewsRover.com
No more manual shuffling through reams of useless text! No more manual
decoding of encoded images and other files! No more manual reconstruction
of multi-part messages! No more waiting for long downloads!
News Rover DOES ALL THIS:
o Scans newsgroups you specify while you sleep, work, and play.
o Automatically downloads messages and attached files so that they are
available for instant access when you are ready to review them.
o Decodes attached files of all types (UUencoded and MIME base64).
o Displays a picture gallery of collected thumbnail size images.
o Selects messages based on include and/or exclude criteria to help
you find a needle in a haystack and eliminate spam. You can even
use complex selection expressions with AND, OR, NEAR and NOT.
o Supports multiple "interest groups," each with sets of newsgroups,
selection expressions, message database, and picture gallery.
o Allows you to post Usenet messages and send e-mail messages.
o Remembers files already extracted and eliminates duplicates
automatically.
o Saves parts of multi-part files, searches for the missing
parts, and rebuilds the entire file when the last part arrives.
It even combines parts found on different days and in different
newsgroups.
o Operates on a schedule you set up to use your phone line only
when you don't need it.
o Automatically dials the provider and hangs up the phone when it
is finished.
o Works with almost all Internet providers and news servers.
o News Rover is multi-threaded so you can read messages and view
pictures while it downloads and decodes more messages.
News Rover was designed and written by real-life Usnet newsgroup junkies!
