Hogwasher lets you work your own way. Filters delete or automatically download articles Because there are so many articles posted to Usenet every day, it's unlikely that most of them will interest you. Even a single newsgroup may have many articles you don't care to read. Hogwasher helps you pick out the ones you want using filters. It's easy to set up filters based on an article's subject, author, length, article text, or other criteria.
Filters can also automatically extract binaries, archive, or save articles as text.
Scheduled connections Downloading news can be time-consuming, especially when using a modem connection. With Hogwasher, it's easy to schedule connections to automatically download the articles you're interested in. Reading news becomes as fast and simple as accessing files on your computer. Thread tree Display Hogwasher supports grouping articles by thread in any sort order, and the ability to collapse threads in your list of articles. Hogwasher also has an optional graphical thread tree display which shows the actual tree structure of threaded discussions.
