Newsstar fetches news and posts it to a local news server: INN, s-news, and sn are supported. What makes newsstar special is that it can make
multiple simultaneous connections, not only to one server, but to several, supporting up to 10
"threads". Before fetching each article, it checks
that it hasn't already been downloaded by another
thread or in a previous session. It can also
"pipeline" article requests to make better use of
available bandwidth. SSL is supported.
