Good newsreader for a weak computer

I'm looking for a good newsreader for binaries that can support a slow computer.

3 GHZ P4 HT if you are wondering.

P.S. I have tried Altbinz and newsleecher

Thanks in advance
 
Ha, the PC I'm on now is less than that :lol:

I've been using Newsleecher no problems, and I have Newsbin Pro installed too no problems, along with SABnzbd and Alt.Binz, but don't use them.
 
My problem is that in Atlbinz it decodes very slowly. I tried SABnzbd but the problem is if I close the window I won't be able to bring it up again.

Newsleecher I guess I need to retry that one again.
 
Ive used them all pretty much and id say newsleecher decodes the fastest

edit: thats not really a slow pc any newsreader will be fine on that
 
Here are my specs which I built in 2004

P4 3GHZ
2.5 Ghz of ram DDR
nvidia 7600 GT 256 MB with 579 Core Clock AGP 8X (upgraded after 2004)

And for my download folder I got a 1TB Seagate on external via USB 2.0.

I'm thinking of trying eSata for faster transfer rates.

UPDATE: So I tried newsleecher and I'm downloading at 1.73 MB/s seems to be the fastest that I can get during peak times. And it's decoding pretty nicely.

Is there a way to stop samples being qued up in newsleecher same as altbinz?
 
My system isn't even close to that, I have a 500GB Western Digital that transfers 3GB in about 3 minutes.

If you just use you normal drive as you download folder things will be alot smoother. I've got 2 internal drive, one with 2 partitions booting XP/7, and the other for downloads...I have no slow downs, even when Newsleecher is repairing/extracting the files.

I lost 250 GB due to the S.M.A.R.T. error , had it set up like that.

The reason I made this post is that I never had altbinz decoding this slow. It's a first time.
