Here is a good reason

YENC is not one encoding method there are a few different methods all
called YENC The code is not cosistaint that is why even Thunderbird has
problems with it.


That's strange. I have been downloading hundreds of yEnc images per
month, using Forte Agent, from many different news groups for several
years now and I can't recall the last time I had file corruption
problems.

If what you claim is true, then I would be having those problems too.


Some of the reasons may be found here.
