Subversion

You can access this project with Subversion at https://svn.madcowdisease.org/mcd/pynewsleecher/trunk.

What is it?

pynewsleecher is a uuEncode/yEnc capable USENET bulk binary leecher. I couldn't find anything useful for non-Windows machines (as usual), so I ended up writing one. Again.

Features

Multiple server support, with 1-10 connections per server. Priority support is pretty broken, so probably not for people who have a 'premium' account for fills.
Fairly robust header caching system, with rollbacks to try and avoid missing posts. Uses all connections for header retrieval.
NZB support.

Requirements

Python 2.2 or later
If you want to use header caching/searching, a supported database module. This means PySQLite or MySQLdb.
Optionally, the yenc module. This is written in C, and more than twice as fast as my Python decoder. Note that the version on the page is out of date and won't work, grab the newer one here.
