Usenet newsgroups are a treasure trove of information.  Whether you want pictures, MP3 music files, movies, news, sports discussion or personal hobbies and genealogy, you can find it all on Usenet.  With over 65,000 newsgroups, there is something for everyone.  But to tap into Usenet, you need a newsreader like News Rover that is easy to use and powerful enough to deliver the full potential of Usenet.

News Rover is the most advanced Usenet newsreader available.  It has three modes of operation:

1. News Rover operates as an interactive news reader allowing you to "subscribe" to newsgroups, browse message headers and then select the messages and files you want to download.  This is the ideal way to explore Usenet newsgroups.
2. News Rover operates in Autoscan mode to download messages and files unattended while you are sleeping or at work. You set up "Interest Groups" to specify which newsgroups to scan,  keywords to look for, file types wanted, minimum and maximum message sizes and other parameters. The "Autoscan" operation then scans the newsgroups unattended and downloads the messages and files that you want. When you are ready to view them, they are on your hard-drive ready for instant access.  Autoscan is the ideal way to collect large songs, pictures and files.
3. News Rover has built-in search engines for finding MP3 music files and other types of file attachments (JPG, GIF, AVI, etc.) in all of the major binary newsgroups.  All you have to do is tell it what to search for, and in a few seconds it will locate any matching messages in over 800 newsgroups.  This is the method of choice if you are looking for a specific song, picture or movie.  This is an exclusive feature of News Rover.

Here are other features that make News Rover a top choice:

• The built-in picture gallery displays thumbnail images of downloaded JPG pictures. You simply click on a thumbnail to view the full-size image. The built-in viewer can re-sale pictures to fit the screen.
• News Rover supports up to 32 news servers.  You can download from multiple newsgroups and news servers simultaneously.
• Built-in dialing support for Windows 95 and 98 allows News Rover to connect on a scheduled basis or to reconnect automatically if the connection drops while running unattended.
• News Rover is a multi-tasking program.  It can download simultaneously from multiple newsgroups and news servers while Autoscan is running in the background, and while you are reading messages, viewing pictures and using the built-in search engine.
• News Rover decodes all common file encodings such as UU-encoded and MIME file attachments.
• The optional password protection feature allows you to hide selected newsgroups and optionally encrypt messages and file attachments to protect your privacy.
• News Rover has powerful Include and Exclude filters for selecting and blocking messages.   You can use full logical expressions including the operators AND, OR, NOT, NEAR and BEFORE as well as parentheses.
• News Rover has built-in SMTP and POP e-mail so you can send and receive e-mail messages as well as read and post Usenet messages.
• News Rover is ideal for posting Usenet messages.  Both MIME and UU-encoding are supported, and large file attachments are broken automatically into multi-part messages.  Automatic posting through anonymous remailers and "nym" servers also can be selected.
• Display filters make it easy to eliminate junk messages and display only the set of messages that meet your criteria.  For example, you could display only messages with MP3 music attachments, JPG pictures, AVI movies, etc.
• News Rover automatically combines the parts of multi-part postings.  All you have to do is double-click the message entry you want, and News Rover will download all of the parts and combine them automatically.
• News Rover keeps a database to identify files and messages downloaded using the "Autoscan" mode of operation and does not download duplicates again.
• News Rover has a built-in scheduler so you can set what hours of the day you want Autoscan to run.  At the specified times it will wake up, dial your ISP and begin scanning for messages and pictures that you want.
• Pieces of a multi-part posting can be found and combined from different newsgroups and different news servers.  Pending parts of a multi-part posting are stored for a specified period and will be combined with other parts found on subsequent runs.
• You can block messages posted by specific senders or from specific sites.  In addition, you can block on keywords, and you can eliminate messages that have been posted to many newsgroups.  This makes it easy to block offensive "spam" messages.
• You can create multiple filing folders for organizing messages and files.
• Extensive real-time statistics are available showing newsgroups scanned, files downloaded, multi-part message counts and messages rejected due to your filtering criteria.
• Extensive online Help is provided as well as free e-mail support.
