What make Android special ?
Android has several features that makes it special:
- Android is designed for handling huge newsgroups. Newsgroups with hundreds of thousands, or even millions of posts are absolutely no problem with Android.
- Android has a queue-oriented design. You drag and drop the posts you want from the list of available posts to Android's queue, where they are downloaded. Android remembers its queue from one session to the next, and remembers what you have already downloaded.
- Android saves the newsgroup headers from one session to the next. This means you don't have to spend half an hour re-downloading 2 million headers from that huge alt.binaries group.
- Android is multithreaded. Android accelerates downloading of large multi-part messages by downloading the parts in parallel.
What can you download with Android ?
You can download anything! Android handles all types of newsgroup attachments, including the following:
- pictures: gif, jpg, jpeg, bmp, pcx, png, etc
- movies: avi, mpeg, mpg, and more!
- archives/applications: rar, zip, exe
- music: mp3, wav, vob, ...
Android can download any kind of content from a newsgroup. The files are automatically downloaded and decoded (uudecode, mime, yEnc, Base64 are all supported).
What about 'posting' to newsgroups ?
Yes, Android can also post to newsgroups. Right now, Android is limited to posting single-messages, such as simple text messages, or messages containing small files, such as images. I'm working on adding a full-fledged multipart poster (forbig files like mp3, mpeg, etc) to Android as well, which should be done soon.
