  yEnc - the new encoding format
yEnc is a new encoding protocol that uses 8-bit encoding to reduce the amount of data being sent and received.
The yEnc protocol offers the bonus feature that parts of unlike posts of the same binary attachment can be easily combined to fill missing part n/n holes; even when the two (or more) posters post with different settings for number of lines or bytes per part.
The posters of yEnc today are trying to force their particular flavor of decoder (either a particular newsreader client, external decoders, or other add-on) down the throat of their audience.

 YEnc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Therefore, yEnc escapes the carriage return and line feed characters in the encoded body.
As with uuencoding, despite its flaws, yEnc remains active and effective on Usenet.
Software that supports yEnc encoding must know the size of the original file in advance, because the file size is specified in the yEnc header that precedes the encoded file.

 Why yEnc is bad for Usenet
My objection to yEnc is because it was done poorly, not because it was done by Jürgen, and I certainly have nothing against him.
It relies upon “yEnc” being in the Subject to find messages which contain a yEnc binaries, and the filename and part indication must be present.
And, with yEnc, they are even more likely to post more, because posting the same amount of material will take a shorter time, and because people who can't use yEnc will ask for reposts in uuencode.

 yEnc [ The lordsnow website ]
Note: Agent 1.91 with yEnc support has now been released, so one of THE standard Usenet programs (the other being MS LookOut Express) is now compatible.
This means that if yEnc had been done in MIME most people would not have been able to use it.
Remember that UUE (the standard encoding on Usenet at the moment) is not done in MIME either, and that the amount of MIME on Usenet is not even 1%.

 YEnc
yEnc is an encoding for transferring binary files on the Usenet or via e-mail.
The yEnc homepage contains a draft informal specification and a grammar (which contradicts RFC 2822 and RFC 2045), although neither have been submitted to the Internet Engineering Task Force.
It suffers from many of the same flaws (most notably that encoded entities cannot be reliably detected) as uuencode does, a number of which had already been solved years before by MIME (which itself addressed the same flaws in uuencode).

 yEnc FAQ
yEnc is an efficient way of transmitting any type of binary file over newsnet, whether it is mp3, mpg, exe, wav or whatever.
To be able to decode yEnc, these newsreaders must be updated with a little module that will decode yEnc into binary, just as there is a little module that decodes UUE into binary.
In fact, you may save all (and I mean *all*) yenc messages together in one big file, and decode it to get all the mp3s, regardless whether they are for the same work, from the same poster, or whatever, as long as they are complete.

 yEnc TZ FAQ
yEnc TZ is much less useful than it used to be, because the current version of MT-Newswatcher, version 3.4, handles yEncs directly, making this program unnecessary.
But yEnc TZ may still be useful if you are using a newsreader with poor yEnc support.
yEnc TZ Classic will truncate to 31 characters by removing extra characters in the middle of the name, to preserve numeric prefixes, suffixes, and filename-type extensions like.jpg.

Use a web-based newsserver that supports yEnc in the meantime, until WebTV upgrades their software.
If you see a ntx on usenet it means the poster converted his binary to ntx with yenc32 and then uploaded that ntx, probably using the default UUencode.
It generates a wrong CRC for each single file so yEnc decoders will stumble on those despite the file may be okay.

 yEnc.org   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
yEnc is a new encoding method which offers efficient and proper transmission for binaries on the Usenet (or by eMail and other applications).
yEnc is NOT an audio format (as MP3) or a video format (as AVI, MOV,...) or a picture format (as GIF or JPEG).
yEnc is now a proposed encoding method which is using the fact that news-servers can today transport binaries more efficient.

 What's wrong with yEnc?
The only reason yEnc can work at all is because of the years of work that went in to converting usenet from a text transport system into a binary transport system (but we weren't done).
The developers that just had to spend time adding "yEnc" support to their software were not interested in adding "yEnc II" only a month later.
Enjoy the 2 fixes you got with yEnc, you aren't likely to see the other 10 we were working on for a very very long time.

yEnc (or yEncoding) is a method used to turn a picture, movie, audio, or other type of file it into a text file.
yEnc, which grew organically into acceptance rather than being formally gated, is now one of the most the most popular methods of encoding files for posting in newsgroups.

 yEnc and UseNet
Written by Jürgen Helbing, yEnc stands for "my encoding" but according to Helbing, myEnc had been used before, so he went with yEnc as the name.
Many terabytes have been posted and downloaded with yEnc, with few-or-no problems related to the encoding scheme having been reported.
A 29.1 MB test rar was compressed to that size using WinRAR 3.0, with a 4K dictionary size, as a solid archive.

 yEnc - jason carr's mousepad:
yEnc is an encoding method that is about 33% more efficient than the current standard, UUencode.
Since completion and retention problems on servers are attributable to bandwidth restriction, I believe that posting with yEnc (or other efficient encoders in the future) will ease the strain on our binary newsgroups.
Use one of the yEnc capable PowerPost mutations.

 yEnc TZ
Another advantage of using yEnc TZ for UUDecoding is that it doesn't truncate the name to 31 characters, which is useful if you are using PAR parity files which expect the original long name to be used.
Fixed a bug that would cause yEnc TZ to suddenly quit if the application driving it sent it one file after another, before it had completed the previous one, once it got to about 200 files.
Encoded yEnc TZ Classic with an older Stuffit (version 5.5) in the hopes that users of older Macs will be able to decode it.

 Learning Tricks with yEnc
Neither of these is any reason to avoid it's use - yEnc, despite having to force itself on oh so many well meaning usenet admins, is a long over due brilliant improvement for large binary posting over usenet.
During the development of the yEnc compression system it was assumed that it would be a long while before newsreaders changed to yEnc, and so the extension "file-xxx.ntx" was created to allow encoding of the file outside of the posting tool.
One odd effect of some version of yEnc posting tools is that Agent fails to display the posting chunks as a single file - instead of all the sections of a part being combined into one header, each individual xxxx line section was propagated as a header.....20 sections = 20 headers.

 UUencode vs. UUdecode vs. yEnc
yEnc is a new encoding method which purportedly offers better transmission for binaries on Usenet.
Posts subjects often (but not always) have "yEnc" spelled out, which helps readers determine the type of binaries post.
The problem with this new encoding method is not surprising -- many newsreaders don't support yEnc, thus making it difficult to decode yEnc encoded files (without an additional application).

 Usenet yEnc, rar, par and nzb FAQs
yEnc is based on the recognition that not all "non-textual" byte codes are "bad" for the Usenet, but only a few of them.
You may succeed, but it is not guaranteed, because in the process of working with a yEnc encoded message your newsreader may correct "inappropriate" bytes and thus, corrupt the encoded file.
A yEnc proxy is a program that sits between a news server and users newsreaders and replaces yEnc encoded attachments with the same attachments encoded using some other method.

 yEnc FAQ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
yEnc is an encoding format used for sending binary attachments, mainly to Usenet, but could also work for e-mail or any other IP protocol where there is a need to send binary files.
This is because there seems to be some controvercy with yEnc since they claim there was some MIME version doing roughly the same thing as yEnc, but better being written, with all sorts of stuff being added, such as error checking, and yada yada yada.
The yEnc algorithms are open source so they can probably do it in less than half an hour using already written code, which can be downloaded for free from the web.

 YEnc - Wikipedia
Es existiert kein RFC für yEnc, allerdings beschreibt die yEnc-Homepage eine rudimentäre Spezifikation sowie Grammatik, die allerdings RFC 2822 sowie RFC 2045 widerspricht.
Ferner wurde die Mehrzahl dieser Einschränkungen bereits Jahre zuvor von MIME gelöst. yEnc erzeugt sogar weitere Schwierigkeiten, indem es unstrukturierte Felder als strukturierte verwendet, diese Strukturinformation während des Transports aber nicht garantiert werden kann und daher als unzuverlässig gilt.
Dies ist jedoch für yEnc zwingend erforderlich, anderenfalls können Datenverluste auftreten.

 yEnc-Agent file Problems
This occurs because Agent (and others) does not appear to be able to "decode" yEnc sections beyond the one missing, and join them up.
During installation I did not allow yEnc to associate with any file type - maybe it's just me, but it seem the less I associate in windows, the better off my system runs - but no harm should happen if you do allow the program to do it's thing.
While this may seem like a great deal of work, the reality is that often the time you spend patching and doing the recovery work is much shorter than the time it takes to get a repost or an additional Par2.
