I've found UBH to be very useful for this very purpose - it's console based so you can run it from a cron job. Not sure about the 'reading posts from multiple servers' part though. $ apt-cache show ubh Package: ubh Priority: optional Section: net Installed-Size: 216 Maintainer: Itai Zukerman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: all Version: 2.5-1 Depends: perl, libnews-newsrc-perl, libnet-perl, libmime-perl, libstring-crc32-perl Filename: pool/main/u/ubh/ubh_2.5-1_all.deb Size: 39190 MD5sum: 4046bf341354d846bfef9172e39c9ba9 Description: Download and decode Usenet binaries UBH (Usenet Binary Harvester) is a Perl console application which automatically discovers, downloads, and decodes single- and multi-part Usenet binaries. UBH provides searching via Perl regular expression and a pre-selection capability whereby the user can interactively choose which binaries to download.
