Newsgroup Image Collector

Newsgroup Image Collector (NIC)is the perfect tool for collecting images from Usenet newsgroups. NIC can search one or more newsgroups for images by scanning each posted message. When a message contains image content, the image is downloaded to your computer. You control which newsgroups to search and you can filter out unwanted images by using advanced filter settings.

Usenet is a collection of user-submitted notes or messages on various subjects that are posted to news servers. Each subject collection of posted notes is known as a newsgroup. There are thousands of newsgroups, many of which contain simple text messages, and others contain images posted as attachments.

Using NIC will help you find images for creating reports, web sites, documents, or sending emails to friends. Please be aware that you must abide by any copyright notification found on groups or images.
