Tired of waiting for pictures to download? Searching for that perfect ClipArt, or Raytraced Images (or other binary file), but can't stand searching through GigaBytes of Postings? That is why I wrote PictureSnooper!!
PictureSnooper is an Application that Searches UseNet NewsGroups for binary files, while you are having dinner, at the movies, or even sleeping. These binary files are usually pictures (and sometimes executables and HTML files). After finding a binary file, PictureSnooperX downloads the file, decodes that file, and saves that file to the directory of your choice for later viewing.
