+linleech is a utility that will search through all the articles in given 
+USENET groups and download those that meet your configured criteria.
+Via the use of S-Lang, a very granular control over what is downloaded is
+achieved; It can perform regexp matching on articles to fetch only those
+that you are interested in, alleviating you of the need to browse through
+a plethora of uninteresting articles.
+
+Another useful feature is the ability to perform arbitrary commands on each
+article as it is downloaded, such as uudecoding and moving it to an archive.
