| Summary : A binary news grabber
|
Description :
Glitter is an interactive GUI program for extracting binaries from
newsgroups. It provides a powerful mechanism for filtering files to ensure
that you retrieve only the binaries that you want. You may also schedule
the binary download for a convenient time, perhaps when you are asleep,
when charges are low and the network is not congested.
Glitter is a GTK+/Gnome application. It provides a graphical interface to
a Perl script, gary. Gary is a modified version of Mark Stantz\'s Assemble
Usenet Binaries (aub) program. Several features have been added, including multiple concurrent NNTP connections and NNTP authentication.
