What is the Program "News Rover"? Is it designed specifically for news groups? How would a user use News Rover to download pictures and use them later for distrubition?

Any comments would help.

It is a very good usenet news reader, specially for reconstructing various file types uuencoded across multiple messages.

But, you knew that already.

Its as easy as telling the program to download "headers" of usenet posts from one or more newsgroups (like alt.binary.pictures.cars).

once the headers are down, you select one or more messages to download and then initiate the download. the program does the rest.

Once the articles are downloaded and put together the attachments are available for viewing. the attachments are just regular files at that point and anything can be done with them, including reposting them somewhere else on usenet or otherwise.

ive spent way more time than i am willing to admin on usenet, so if you have more specific questions i would be happy to answer them
