NzbPerl is a perl script for downloading nzb files. It supports automated
parsing and sorting of nzb files, multiple servers, automated downloading,
assmbling and decoding of message parts, and has user controlled bandwidth
throttling during runtime.
This module implements a client interface to NNTP, enabling a Perl 5
application to talk to NNTP servers. It uses the OOP (Object Oriented
Programming) interface introduced with Perl 5.
POE::Component::Client::NNTP is a POE component that provides
non-blocking NNTP access to other components and sessions.
Pan is a newsreader, loosely based on Agent and Gravity, which attempts to
be pleasant to use for new and advanced users alike. It has all the typical
features found in newsreaders, and also supports offline reading, multiple
connections, and a number of features for power users and alt.binaries fans.
This is a port of plor (which stands for Prosa Offline Linux Reader).
Plor reads soup and qwk message packets. It is alpha software.
You can use this as an alternative to the slnr package.
NZB is an XML-based file format for retrieving posts from NNTP
(Usenet) servers.
Since NZB is XML-based, it's relatively easy to build one-off parsers
to parse NZB files. This project is an attempt to consolidate those
many one-off NZB parsers into one simple interface.
This a fairly simple Python module, it provides only raw yEnc
encoding/decoding with built-in crc32 calculation.
rawdog is an RSS Aggregator Without Delusions Of Grandeur.
Written in Python, it uses Mark Pilgrim's feed parser. It runs from
cron, collects articles from a number of feeds, and generates a
static HTML page listing the newest articles in date order. It
supports per-feed customizable update times, and uses ETags,
Last-Modified, and gzip compression to minimize network bandwidth
usage.
rawdog's output format is similar to that of PyDS and Hep.
SABnzbd is a cross-platform binary newsreader. It makes downloading
from Usenet easy by automating the whole thing. You give it an NZB
file or an RSS feed, it does the rest. Has a web-browser based UI
and an API for 3rd-party apps. Ideal for servers too.
slrn is an easy to use but powerful NNTP/spool based newsreader. It is
highly customizable, supports scoring, free key bindings, and can be
extended using the SLang macro language. slrn supports SSL and IPv6.
