Welcome to the SB-Software website

SB-Software is a high quality shareware company that has been in business since 1986. I stand behind my products and offer only first-rate internet software and utilities.

  SBNews/Newsbot is the internet's premier tool for retrieving pictures, music, and other multimedia files from newsgroups! SBNews will go out on the internet for you, find the files you want, exclude those you don't want, and download them to your computer -- all by itself. There's no need to spend hours laboring through newsgroups with cumbersome low-tech tools like Outlook Express and manually decoding news attachments. SBNews/Newsbot finds the files, automatically decodes them and splices multi-part files together. Try it today! :)
     
  Android Newsgroup Downloader is the latest addition to SB-Software suite of newsreaders and newsgroup tools. Android is designed especially for downloading large files, such as movies, mp3 music, rar archives, and cd and dvd images. Android uses a drag and drop interface similar to the QuadNews Pick & Choose mode. (Note that it has absolutely nothing to do with cellphones; Android is newsgroup downloader designed for Windows desktop PCs, and the name was in use by me for many years before someone decided to use it to name an operating system).
     
  QuadSucker/News (or 'QuadNews') is the multithreaded counterpart to SBNews. QuadNews downloads FOUR files at the same time, and is a perfect tool for high-speed internet connections such as DSL, cable modems, broadband, etc. Quadnews features a very powerful multipart message assembly algorithm allowing it to ensure multipart messages are assembled correctly, making it the tool of choice for downloading music files (MP3, WAV, etc), applications (ZIP, RAR, etc), and -- of course -- images (GIF, JPEG, PCX, etc).
     
  SB-Software produces many other products as well -- including tools for downloading from websites and webcams (QuadSucker/Web, SBWcc), tools for sorting and viewing images (SortPics, SBJV), and much more -- see our products page for full information on all the current software.

The newsreaders and newsgroup downloading tools at SB-Software are usually compatible with the news server that your Internet Service Provider (ISP) supplies. If your ISP does not provide a news server, then I suggest using a service like Giganews Usenet Newsgroups. For more information on configurating see the SB-Software news server FAQ.

If you have any questions or comments about any software on this website, feel free to contact me via the 'Contact' link at the top of the page. While my development time is limited lately, I do appreciate suggestions for new features and of coruse reports of any bugs that you may encounter.

If you do use one of my software programs, please do consider registering. I've worked hard to keep the registration fee low to promote accessibility of the software to a wide audience, but at the same time the fee is critical to allowing me to continue the development effort.
