Picture Patrol is a program for Windows and Mac OS that automatically extracts pictures from thousands of articles posted in Usenet newsgroups. It builds huge collections of free pictures overnight, using a simple interface to replace what once was a time-consuming task with essentially some settings and a few mouse clicks. Unlike ordinary newsreaders that require your constant intervention, Picture Patrol independently downloads articles from your favorite newsgroup, decodes pictures attached to them and saves these images into the directories you set, neatly grouped by date and newsgroup. Features include: user-defined collections of newsgroup, support for more than one news server, automatic group circulation after a number of article, minutes or picture, freedom to choose where each collection will be stored, creation of unique filenames and protection against corrupted file, making the program quite stable.
Changes in this version:
Fast support for very large numbers of newsgroups, more reliable throughput graph, no more $$TestFile$$, assigning proper application to pictures, and minor status enhancements
