Of course, since you're visiting newsgroupdownloaders.com, the most likely reason that you're here is because you want to know what a newsgroup downloader is, or how to use one, or some such thing. Well, you're in luck. Pictured to the left is the "Binary Vortex" newsgroup downloader. It's a very simple downloader, intended for downloading pictures and other small files.
