NIC is ideal to gather pictures from Usenet newsgroups by scanning and downloading the images from posted messages. The software searches one or more newsgroups and conveniently saves the desirable images to the user's device.

With NIC, you have complete control over which newsgroups to search and can filter out unwanted images using advanced filter settings. You can filter messages by subject and author using keywords, and images by width, height, file size, and file extension to skip thumbnail images or large space-wasting images.
Moreover, NIC is incredibly flexible and allows you to save your images in one main directory or build a directory tree for a visual guide to where each image came from. You can even choose different browsing perspectives to view your thumbnails and full-size images.
The program also includes stop conditions to help you manage the search process and the number of files downloaded. Additionally, advanced importing and exporting features allow you to zip up your image collection and share it with friends.
NIC is a Java-based program, and it's available for Windows, Linux, and MacOS. Separate files are available for each operating system, so be sure to visit their website if the file for your operating system is not listed. If you're looking for a reliable tool to search and collect images from Usenet newsgroups, look no further than NIC.
