ngPost

Languages: English | Français

ngPost v5.4.0 is a high-speed command line and GUI Usenet poster for binaries, designed for secure and efficient data posting. Developed with C++17 and Qt 6.8.2, it features file compression, par2 file generation, a structured post history with article-level resume, and a posting queue for managing multiple uploads.

Overview

The tool can compress files using an external rar binary and generate par2 files prior to posting. For AppImage and Windows users, the application now automatically detects embedded rar and par2 binaries if available. It includes a posting queue feature that allows for the preparation of multiple posts, particularly efficient through the GUI's tab functionality.

While uploading the current post, the application simultaneously prepares the next one by handling compression and par2 file generation. It offers automation capabilities by scanning folders and posting each file or folder individually after compression, potentially using random archive names and passwords, followed by par2 generation.
