NewsBinarium is a robot for bulk downloading pictures and other
binary files from USENET binary newsgroups automatically. You
can download and preview pictures simultaneously or use scheduler
for downloading from many news servers automatically. NewsBinarium
has the powerful antispam filtering system permitting to download
files from messages with the predefined conditions.

For example: "Download JPG and GIF files containing Eminem, Moby
and Madonna' s images; don't download the files of the messages,
if the sender's name contains spammers.com; files must be bigger
than 15Kb and smaller than 65Kb; begin downloading from my
internet provider's news server, then go to other listed servers"...

....and so on.
