Simple the best there is.
my favorite usenet client. very good and nice features. I love it.
Free versions is super old, but does the job fine. (As long as yuo get NZB from an outside source.)
My favourite binary usenet reader. Interface could be improved a lot imho.
The price is definitely steep. Especially for people who don't live in the Euro zone. But apart from that, the program is wonderful. It's a "fire and forget" type of app. After you set it up, you just leave it running and it downloads all the files, does automatic repairs if a file happens to be corrupt, unrars the set, and can even run any custom command when it finishes. Pure awesomeness.
The author is forcing you to "donate" €15 if you want to get the latest version which is stupid seen as 0.25 has no working search engines anymore and is basically bug filled and useless.
Definitely has a lot of options, but it could do with a nicer interface.
one of the best usenettools. love it
Really good app, I use this for my usenet. Nothing better. Could do with a group browse feature.
One of the best usenet programs there is, it auto checks, repairs and unrars your files, and has a lot of options.
