newsgroup downloader
definition: newsgroup downloader
a newsgroup downloader (also referred to as an "alt.binaries downloader")
is a program for downloading content from the
alt.binaries newsgroups.
Newsgroup downloaders are typically used to enhance and accelerate the
newsgroup downloading process. Modern newsgroups have hundreds of thousands or
even millions of messages, and downloading these messages manually is time
consuming and tedious, so many users turn to an automated tool to download the
files they are looking for from the newsgroups. QuadSucker/News,
Binary Vortex, and
SBNews are common examples of
alt.binaries downloading programs.
