NewsShark is a news client that will make it easy for you to follow the information published in the
newsgroups (also known as
newsgroups or simply
news) that you are subscribed to. These bulletins are stored in news servers and can be checked by the members of a specific group from any computer with an
Internet connection.
The main job of a progam like
NewsShark is to connect to said
servers and
download the heading of all the messages available in the
bulletin board, that will remain visible even when they are deleted from the server. If the user wants, it will also be possible to
download the full contents.
To start using this application, the first thing that will be necessary will be to perform a simple
configuration in which the news servers address will be input. What's more, it will also be necessary to belong to one group.
Among the function offered by
NewsShark you will finds the possibility to pause and restart the
news download, the preview of the partially downloaded files or the application of filters to order the articles. What's more, it supports the most popular
codifications: yEnc, UUEncode, XXEncode, MIME Base64 and BinHex.
Subscribe to the
newsgroups that may interest you and stay up to date, thanks to this practical utility.
