Publisher's Description
From Brainchild:
Picture Patrol is a program for Windows and Mac OS that automatically extracts pictures from thousands of articles posted in Usenet newsgroups. It builds huge collections of free pictures overnight, using a simple interface to replace what once was a time-consuming task with essentially some settings and a few mouse clicks. Unlike ordinary newsreaders that require your constant intervention, Picture Patrol independently downloads articles from your favorite newsgroups, decodes pictures attached to them and saves these images into the directories you set, neatly grouped by date and newsgroup.
Version 1.5.1 includes support for very large numbers of newsgroups, more reliable throughput graph, no more $$TestFile$$, assigning proper application to pictures, and minor status enhancements.
What's new in this version:
- news servers with way over 100,000 newsgroups can now be used without seriously slowing down the program;
- the time needed for decoding pictures is no longer included in the throughput calculations, resulting in a more reliable throughput graph.
- minor enhancements were made to some status messages.
