What if my newsreader does not support yEnc?
Some popular newsreaders, like Agent, have not yet been updated and are not able to decode yEnc automatically. No problem, you can still download the yEnc files, save them as text files, and decode them manually. There is a small decoding utility, called “yDec”. This program is for windows. Utilities also exist for other platforms. Again, check http://www.yenc.org/yenc/index.htm, since new programs appear almost daily at the moment. Of course, it is not appealing to start doing things manually that were done automatically before. Stop! It’s far easier than you think. Below I’ll take you step by step to this procedure. And don’t forget: downloading the same mp3 file becomes 40% faster! Recently, a new front end for decoding and encoding has been released, Yenc32. I didn’t try it yet. You can find it here: http://www.yenc32.com/download.php. So you need yDec.
