Mac / Pcles Independent / 104 / Full spec
Description

If you're looking for a reliable and efficient way to download and decode multipart and monopart yENC and UU encoded files from newsgroups, then look no further than newslite for Mac. This UNIX/LINUX command line tool is designed to provide resource efficiency in terms of CPU usage and memory, making it ideal for use on low-end computers.

One of the key objectives behind the development of newslite was to build a "title list" that would make it easier to analyze group content. This feature allows users to quickly identify relevant articles based on their titles, rather than having to sift through each individual message header.

In addition, newslite is also robust when it comes to news server connection loss. It can resume download sessions in case of interruption or disconnection, ensuring that you don't lose any progress or have to start over from scratch.

At present, newslite only supports yEnc and UU encoded binaries - the most widely used format for binary posting. However, this limitation doesn't detract from its overall usefulness as a tool for downloading files from newsgroups.

Some of the main features offered by newslite include:

- Threads XOVER command: This allows for faster retrieval of group message headers.

- Threads file download: This enables faster downloads by splitting files into multiple threads.

- Full list of groups hosted by the server: Users can easily browse available groups without having to manually search through each one.

- Configuration file support: The use of configuration files simplifies user command interface.

- Builds "title" and "file" lists from article headers: These lists make it easier to analyze group content quickly.

- Decodes yEnc and UU multi-part/multi-segment encoded files

- Supports news server authentication

- Supports NZB file processing

- Allows connection via any TCP port (not just NNTP 119)

Overall, if you're looking for an efficient way to download binary files from Usenet groups using your Mac computer, then give newslite a try. Its resource efficiency combined with its robustness against connection loss makes it an excellent choice for anyone who wants reliable access to Usenet content without sacrificing performance or stability.
