Thaks to a phenominally patient couple of people, I got speakup installed on
an old pc of mine, so now I have a question.
What program will allow me to most efficently look at binaries I can
download off the usenet, and then save and extract the files I want. I
don't want to have to see all the parts that make up a post. I simply want
a display of one binary per line that I can select, and then save having the
program chose the proper parts and extract in the background.
I am not averse to downloading and installing rpms, but I don't know much
about compiling accept that typing ./configure' sometimes does the trick.
I'm very new at this, but want to download mp3s. Any suggestions on wha
program to use would be appriciated.
on the off chance your answer is pine, is there a way to see conversations
by thread instead of each post?

Hi. Well if its mp3s you're after, then go with Audio Galaxy. You can find
most anything there. I think that tin will handle binaries. Go to
www.tin.org to download the source and then compile it. ./configure make
make install

If you want other stuff than mp3s, try gnutella, there is a nice
console-based client for Linux, called gnut. Go to
http://www.gnutelliums.com
and follow the linux/unix link to download and install the gnut client,
just do a ./configure make make install, the usual thing.
You can find any file you can think of, if someone's online and sharing
it, from mp3s to avi files, to winblows .exe or zip files, even copies of
software like Windows XP or Norton Ghost 2002, all usable of course,
though if you're downloading that kind of stuff, beware of worms etc.
Cheers.

A program called Usenet Binary Harvester at http://ubh.sf.net will
download binaries, though not as you've described. It downloads
everything it can from one or more groups that you specify.
I've gotten slrn to work quite well, displaying only what I find to be
useful information and maximizing the article window so the headers
display isn't annoying. I can make the files available if anyone is
interested.

i downloaded ubh, created my .newsrc and .ubhrc files, and get a huge list
of errors when I run the program.
how can I verify I have all the packages it says you need at the beginning
of the readme?
I did a server install of text apps when I did my initial install. I'm very
new to this stuff.

Hi. Did you install the newsreader using an rpm? Hi. Was the newsreader an
rpm package? If so you should install the apropriate dependencies that are
most likely listed on redhat's website. Also, what kind of errors do you
get?
