ngetdaemonngetdaemon allows quick and efficient perusing and downloading from Usenet remotely. Updating and sorting of all headers is done with one click. The strongest feature is that posts are grouped together in file groups, meaning a post consisting of 100 files is compacted into one line and determined to be complete, incomplete, par fills, etc. There are no pretty buttons, animations, etc. Everything is designed to create as little strain on bandwidth as possible.
