nn is a menu based (point and shoot) netnews reader with a complete set
of features to satisfy both the expert and the novice user. Since its
first release in Denmark in 1984 (!), in Europe in 1988, and the global
release in June 1989, it has replaced rn and other well-known news
readers at many sites.

The yEnc module provide a simple API for doing raw encoding/decoding of
yencoded binaries, mainly for retrieving or posting to the usenet. This
implementation is really simple and intended mainly as an exercise to
the author but is also significantly faster than any possible pure
Python implementation and it's being actually used by some Python nntp
clients out there.

hellanzb is a Python application designed for *nix environments that
retrieves nzb files and fully processes them. The goal being to make
getting files from Usenet (e.g.: Giganews Newsgroups) as hands-free as
possible. Once fully installed, all thats required is moving an nzb file
to the queue directory. The rest; fetching, par-checking, un-raring,
etc. is taken care of by hellanzb.
