What makes QuadSucker/News special?

QuadSucker/News (or "QuadNews" as it is sometimes referred to) is designed to make downloading binary attachments from newsgroups easy and fast. QuadSucker/News works well with all types of content, from pictures (jpeg, gif, etc) to movies (mpeg, mpg, avi), music (mp3), and even application files and archives (exe, rar, etc).

QuadSucker/News is much more than a new reader, it is an automated news downloader. Sure, you can download binary attachments with a news reader, but it's a tedious process that involves a lot of manual effory. Using a news download makes everything automatic.

QuadSucker/News is a multithreaded program, downloading up to four news articles at a time. This allows it to run up for four times faster than less sophisticated single-threaded programs.

There is support for both streaming download mode (for picture groups), and the new pick and choose mode (for large mp3 / mpeg) groups. QuadSucker is one tool that will handle all of your newsgroup downloading needs.
