alt.binz - new free usenet client! - Very Light and handy

[Ebony(anywhoo?)]

Great programme. SSL support too. Bye bye newsleecher.

I just make nzb's from the headers with newsbin pro and import them into this program. its really good.

Why don't you also download with Newsbin?

 

[Vishnu]

After months of weekly updates the latest version of the program is now a month old... even their irc chan is kinda dead, which is unfortunate

Why don't you also download with Newsbin?

because its a trail version. afaik it works after trail but it stops every 15 minutes when you're downloading and then you'll need to press "ok" before it continues. and alt.binz automatically repairs everything so thats quite handy.

I like this program it is a lot quieter than Grabit on decode. Although I have not really gone for any DVD 50 meg rar decodes using it mainly 15-20 meg XviD post. Great to see the search site integration.

One small thing I have had some trouble using multiple servers. Thats is not as easy to work out as grabit but I will keep abusing this great program. Cheers for the heads up.

 

[Zoey Z]

you guys use RSS?

where can i get more links/servers?

 

[koriek361]

thanks for the heads-up!....gonna test this app in a bit...

Ah, ok. I bought the prog. Sounds abit weird though, buyng a program to use it for warez. But at least it's a hell of a value

i have a slight problem,since am new to this,when i click to search for something how do i download it,because when i highlight it the only option i see is copy to clipboard

 

[D-Pat]

I like this client aplenty. It reminds me of Newsleecher with the graph and the colors and whatnot. I also like that it's a stand-alone exe and repairs and extracts automatically.

I have been using grabit for nzb files.
Doing great, downloads properly.
Only one glitch, my system freezes while the downloads are going on, seems some os related issue. will work on this and see and report accordingly.
I have downloaded the appl mentioned above and will try to work with it.

Don't you get a "add to queue" option when right clicking on the stuff you want to download?

 

[USMC Dad]

The client seems to be pretty good I'll keep trying it out for a little and see how it does.

 

[Holly:)]

Your username, password and server address which you obtained from the NSP before downloading altbinz right:naughty:

Ive just discovered alt.binz myself - so far its Great!

Far better than Grab-it - the reader i had been using.

I think that Alt.Binz is the best FREE binary downloader out there. Still under heavy development, it keeps improving each day. (check the daily builds in irc channel) It supports all the latest developments; multi-server downloading, SSL encryption, automatic unPARing, built-in search engines, download scheduler, and a lot more. The only question is how long will something this good remain free?

I used to like Grabit and Binary News Reaper (and Xnews long ago) but these appz have not been updated in a very long time.

True, Alt.Binz does not load headers, but with all the NZB sites around, who still uses headers anymore?
