Review:

Binary Boy is a newsreader that downloads mp3s, movies, pictures and other files from newsgroups. The tool is valuable for those who are active newsgroup subscribers and know where to look for the goodies. Binary Boy is by no means the only tool that does this, but it has some powrful features that others did not have.

Installation: Binary Boy installation is simple and it occupy very little amount of memory.

How to use: How does it work? Like every other similar product, pick a binary newsgroup and choose what you wantever to download. It will automatically download each part of the segment as BBT file and then compile it to create file whole. Big advantage that puts him away from similar programs that this Boy will try to create a playable file even if one / more of parts are missing, and to be honest - he does the job surprsingly good.

Advantages: Binary Boy has some advantages like that you can store files from each newsgroup in separate folders automatically. Oh and the best thing – you can decode incomplete or damaged files for previewing mpgs before downloading the whole movie. If necessary, you can rearrange the download order or remove files with the editable queue.

Disadvantage: During a tests for review, I found that Binary Boy is digging through my hard drive, leaving lots of .dll and other files that will allow information about you to be sent to the advertisers who's logos appear. I've also found numerous entries in my reg file. After a longer search, it seems that Binary Boy is one of the programs that installs the Aureate spy on your computer. This is the only disadvantage with it.

Supports: Binary Boy supports UUencode, Base64, Quoted Printable, yEnc, QP-Lite, BommaNews.

Finally Binary Boy is a worthy product for its $22.45 price.

Conclusion:

Binary Boy is one of the best newsreader. It makes finding and downloading files from newsgroups very easy. It is an excellent newsgroup download management software.It is a nice software it is better than expexted and it is a worthy product for its price.
