yEnc

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.

decoding yEnc

Some readers automatically handle yEnc encoding: Xnews does, and Agent and Free Agent are following suit due to massive user demand.

If your reader doesn't decode yEnc, you can use a separate decoder. Here is a list of current yEnc tools.

posting yEnc

Use one of the yEnc capable PowerPost mutations.
