The unPoster - Have you ever tried to see what files are available in a newsgroup with several million posts Have you ever tried to see what files are available in a newsgroup with several million posts? Not easy, right? We have designed The unPoster to take all the work out of downloading files from these, and smaller groups. The unPoster's Watcher will continuously download headers from your favorite newsgroups and analyze them. Then, when you need a new CD to listen to, or a new movie to watch, open up the unPoster's Lister and select the files you want to download.Here are some key features of "The unPoster":· An unlimited number of servers is allowed.· Number of newsgroups allowed: unlimited.· yEnc support: of course.· File-type support: The unPoster can scan for and download any type of file. It comes set-up with many file types, and you can add more via the File-Types set-up window. If you download obscure file types, make sure to add them before you start up the Watcher.· Error recovery: Both the Watcher and Lister will wait patiently if the news server goes off line, or your internet connection drops, and will then resume downloading - no matter how long it takes.· Database technology: The unPoster uses the open-source SQLite database engine. You can edit the unPoster's database files by using any program that can open SQLite files, which use the ".sdb" file extension. One such program is SQLiteManager, which is available for Windows and Mac. SDB files can be copied from Windows to Mac, and vice versa.· The Windows and Mac versions of the unPoster are identical except that they require different registration keys, which means that they are separate products. If you want to use both, you should buy a MagicKey.· Database structure: The unPoster does not store headers, but only files. So, if there is a video file in a newsgroup that is comprised of 200 posts, the unPoster will create one database record which will contain, among other things, the article numbers for all 200 posts. Storing all the headers for large binary groups would create a lot of processor, and disk overhead. Even so, there is still quite a lot of data, and the unPoster gives you the flexibility to handle it. Each newsgroup's data is stored in its own database file, which can be located anywhere. The same is true for the storage of parts and completed files: each newsgroup can have its own folders for this data.· Security: Newsgroups can be given nicknames which will appear on the Watcher, the Lister, and elsewhere. So, if you were using a newsgroup such as alt.binaries.pictures.incredibly-perverted, you could give it a nickname such as "Fine Art" or "Classical Music". And that's all that anybody glancing over your shoulder will see.· News server connections: The Watcher will open one connection to the server when it is analyzing a group. If you use the Lister to view a picture, the picture window will open one connection, get the picture, and close the connection. The same is true when you use the "Read" button to view a text post or NFO file. Each Downloader will open one connection to the server. So, while you can have an unlimited number of downloaders, the number that you can run simultaneously is limited by the number of server connections you can have. Usually, the ISP you use to connect to the internet will allow a paltry number of connections - like two, and a third-party service such as ours will allow a lot more - six in our case. So, with only two connections, you could run the Watcher and one Downloader, or you could turn off the Watcher and run two Downloaders. The number of connections is important when you want to download a file fast. With one connection, you might be able to download a 4gb DVD in 12 hours. With more connections, you could create 4 Downloaders for the file, and get the job done in perhaps 4 hours. Different news servers give different error messages when you try to go over the number of allowed connections. If you see something like "too many connections" or errors mentioning "authorization", then you might be over the limit. Only your ISP can tell you what the limit is, so be sure to call and ask if they don't mention it on their web site. Having access to lots of server connections on a few different servers is the best way to max out your throughput. When one server is being balky, the others will take up the slack. If you have access to 50 connections, go nuts - the unPoster will not limit you.
