Pluckit

search newsgroups for binary attachments

Our Rating: (Very Good)

Pluckit is a program that automatically searches newsgroups for binary attachments. It downloads (plucks) them from the newsgroup to your hard drive. It seeks out only the messages having pictures, grabs them, saves them to your hard drive, and then optionally displays them on your screen. All you have to do is tell Pluckit which groups you are interested in and then click the "Start Plucking" button and the program will start downloading pictures. Pluckit can acquire literally thousands of JPG's, GIF's, AVI's, ZIP's, TXT and other binary files while running in the background.
