The Giganews Accelerator is a software-based news proxy which will allow you to
compress headers and enable 256-bit SSL encryption, regardless of whether or not
SSL is supported natively by your news client.

All authentication and commands are also encrypted, whether or not you have a
Giganews SSL-enabled account. Encrypted authentication and commands improve your
security and can help improve your download speeds when accessing Giganews.
Header compression is especially helpful for users of news clients which
download all headers the first time a group is accessed, such as Newsbin.
