YEnc, short for "yencode," is an encoding method primarily used for encoding binary files for transmission over Usenet and similar platforms. It was designed to be efficient and compact, making it suitable for the transfer of larger binary files such as images, videos, and software packages. ### Key Features of YEnc: 1. **Efficiency**: YEnc has a higher encoding efficiency compared to older methods like uuencoding and Base64, which results in less data being transmitted and therefore faster transfers.
