List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: 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.
