Nyuu is a command-line application for posting binary content to Usenet servers. It is designed for efficient uploading, with extensive configuration options for handling files, connections and NNTP article submission.
The application uses Node.js and a compiled yEnc module to encode binary data. It can generate NZB files describing uploaded content, making the resulting posts easier to retrieve with compatible Usenet downloaders.
Nyuu is particularly suited to users who need detailed control over binary posting or want to incorporate uploads into scripts and automated workflows. It can handle multiple connections, recover from transmission errors and check whether submitted articles are available on the server.
The software also provides diagnostic information for investigating failed uploads and tuning performance. Its command-line approach makes it useful on remote systems without a graphical desktop.
This is free and open source software.
