yDecode 1.62

yDecode 1.62 is an effective solution designed to help you to continue to use your favorite news reader software and still get the most of it. yDecode allows you to decode all yEnc messages, autosave images and other attachments into folder of your choice and enhance your newsreading experience. 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, you' ve probably seen a lot of messages in yEnc format - and you' ve probably been frustrated by inability to view these in your favorite news reader software such as Outlook Express.

Major Features:

1. Same size files download much faster when compared to older encoding methods
2. Doesn't waste as much disk space as older formats
3. 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)
4. Contains any of the following pictures, MP3s, videos, software, e-books or any other binary files
5. 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.
6. You don't 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!
7. 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.
8. 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 don't have to look at the main window as the progress bar of Outlook Express which doesn't calculate correctly the message size.
9. 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!
10. 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).
11. 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).
12. Diagnose the connection to the server this one can be a time saver to you while you configure it.
13. Run it automatically on system startup so you don't have to touch it again once you set it up.
14. Easily configures Outlook Express and Windows Mail via one-click configuration!
