I still like Newsbin Pro. There is a reliable cracked version you can use to test beofre you decide to support the author. But once you do, you will buy it.
Newsleecher turned me off a long time ago when it stopped working one weekend. Something to do with server side authorization and the author changing providers. Maybe it's changed since then, but I don't want any piece of software that requires contact with anyone. Supersearch may be nice, but give me Binsearch anyday.
