Newsgroup Image Collector 2.1

Newsgroup Image Collector 2.1 a Java based program available in Windows, Linux and MacOS, which can be used to get images from Usenet newsgroups. NIC can search one or more newsgroups for images by scanning each posted message. When a message contains image content, the image is downloaded to your computer. You control which newsgroups to search and you can filter out unwanted images by using advanced filter settings.

Usenet is a collection of user-submitted notes or messages on various subjects that are posted to news servers. Each subject collection of posted notes is known as a newsgroup. There are thousands of newsgroups, many of which contain simple text messages, and others contain images posted as attachments.

Using NIC will help you find images for creating reports, web sites, documents, or sending emails to friends. Please be aware that you must abide by any copyright notification found on groups or images. NIC gives you the ability to manage your images with ease and to preview them with the built in slide show. You can share your images with friends quickly by using the built in email wizard.

Using NIC is simple. First you will create a new collection by entering the address of a (NNTP) news server. Next you select from a searchable list the groups you wish to scan. Finally, must tell NIC where to save images and you are ready to go.

Optional advanced features let you filter your image search by using a variety of different methods. You can filter message subjects by keywords to allow or ignore certain images. You can filter images by width, height, file size, and file extension to skip thumbnail images or large space wasting images. You can save your images in one main directory or you can build a directory tree for a visual guide to where each image came from. You can share your images with friends quickly by using the built in email wizard. Simply highlight the images to send, click on the email button and share images with anyone.
