Without yEnc encoded files you are missing a lot of free content.
yDecode - if you visit newsgroups (Usenet) on regular basis in search of free content like pictures, MP3s, videos, e-books or software and anything other that can be found on the newsgroups, youve probably seen a lot of messages in yEnc format - and youve probably been frustrated by inability to view these in your favorite news reader software such as Outlook Express.
As an Outlook Express user myself, I consider it good and easy to use software for reading newsgroups and also quite good for e-mail as well but with a significant problem - yEnc messages in the newsgroups are displayed as text instead of whatever they should contain – pictures, MP3, videos, archives, e-books or software.
If you were like me then you were missing all of this free content that has been hidden in yEnc format for years.
Well, Im about to reveal you the easy way how you can view all of these messages transparently - directly in your favorite news reader program – Outlook Express, Netscape News, Agent... or any other. And further, youll learn how you can benefit more from this solution and make your newsgroups reading even easier and never miss any of the yEnc encoded files again!
Main features:
- Same size files download much faster when compared to older encoding methods
- Doesnt waste as much disk space as older formats
- More files can be stored on the server (due to smaller size) and they will last for longer time (as servers hold newsgroup files for a limited time)
- Contains any of the following - pictures, MP3s, videos, software, e-books or any other binary files
- You easily decode ALL yEnc messages with no manual work – single part or multipart – directly into Outlook Express, Netscape News, Agent or any other news reader software you can think of.
- You dont have to worry about multipart messages - they are decoded automatically. No counting of parts, no joining, no anything. Just click the first message and you are done!
- It can save all the yEnc messages automatically into a folder of your choice while you surf – This way you can avoid repetitive tasks like opening, decoding and saving files – you simply use "synchronize" option in Outlook Express and yDecode saves all the yEnc messages into a folder of your choice. Later take a look at the "cache" folder to find all the attachments there. – Multipart attachments are automatically joined into single file.
- It is "invisible" to you - works transparently – This means that unless you want to monitor it, it can do entire job automatically, while sitting quietly in the system tray. It also shows you progress bar and communication icons there so you dont have to look at the main window as the progress bar of Outlook Express which doesnt calculate correctly the message size.
- You have the comfort to continue using Outlook Express or Windows Mail you already know how to use while still getting the most of it. If you use some other news reader software – you can use yDecode with that software as well – yDecode works with ANY other newsgroup reading software such as Netscape News or Agent!
- Share yDecode in local network (LAN) to enable other computers to read yEnc transparently as well – it acts like a proxy server – works with ANY news reader software that is correctly configured to point to yDecode computer. yDecode is also protected from outside access with IP filtering list - internal firewall (you can override it if required).
- Work with up to 10 servers – if you use more than one server you can easily switch them in yDecode (one at the time is active).
- Diagnose the connection to the server - this one can be a time saver to you while you configure it.
- Run it automatically on system startup so you dont have to touch it again once you set it up.
- Easily configures Outlook Express and Windows Mail via one-click configuration!
