About suck:
Suck is a program used to grab news from a remote NNTP news server and bring it to your local machine, without the remote server doing anything special.
Installation:
1) unzip to /boot. It will create /boot/apps/Internet/suck/* and /boot/home/config/settings/suck/*
Usage:
1) Specify the newsgroup names to suck in this file: /boot/home/config/settings/suck/dd/sucknewsrc. To add a group type it's name (alt.foo.blah) followed by a 0. This will download all messages in that group and then change the 0 to the latest message number to avoid dupes. You can also add 2 numbers: alt.foo.blah 0 100. This will download the last 100 messages and then change the 0 to the latest message number. Currenty this file contains a list of beos newsgroups.
2) suck NEWSSERVER -c -A -bp -hl YOURLOCALHOSTIP -dt /boot/home/config/settings/suck/dt -dd /boot/home/config/settings/suck/dd -dm /boot/apps/Internet/suck/incoming
Notes:
1) /boot/home/config/settings/suck/dt is the suck temp directory. it must be separate from the directory specified with the -dd option.
2) NEWSSERVER is the name of the newsserver given by your ISP.
3) YOURLOCALHOSTIP is most likely 127.0.0.1 or localhost.
4) All files are saved to /boot/apps/Internet/suck/incoming. You can specify any drive/directory you want.
5) Use uudecode to extract binaries from the newsgroup files.
