Title: Looking for RSS-fed newsgroup downloader
Post by: Ustauk on January 14, 2006, 12:26:53 PM
I'm trying to find a newsgroup program that will download files based on an RSS (http://rss.binsearch.net/rssfeed.php) feed, given certain search criteria and when the file is complete on the news server.  Do any of you know of a program with that ability?

I posted this on the weekend, so I'm not sure if everyone read it, so I'm bumping it.

I read it but I am not sure I understand.





You want an RSS reader that can monitor and download NNTP aka News groups?



In that case it is not an RSS reader, but a binary Newsgroup program with a monitoring / filter feature.



I use GrabIt (http://www.shemes.com/index.php?p=features) for news groups but I don't think there is an automatic download feature.



NewsBin (http://www.newsbin.com/index.php?mode=main&task=support) Might have a feature like that.

You've described pretty much what I was looking for, Lazy.  I was just wondering  if there was a NNTP program that could use the RSS feed as a trigger, but one that checks the headers on its own for certain criteria would be fine as well.  I'll check Newsbin when I get home. Thanks.
