Is Newsleecher still the best?

Another vote for Sabnzbd from me.. the original program has been abandonded but it's supporters have taken it on and it has a new home with lots of new features :

Built in repair, unrar and delete functions, auto grab from Newzbin Postid completely skinable.
 
I personally think that it all depends on the user. Just try out a few clients and see which one you like best, some have extra features others are more stable.

I personally use Newsleecher for when I want to browse some groups and of course the Repair'N'Extract feature.
 
I've only used Newsleecher, so I can't really make a comparison with others, but I absolutely love it. I've been trying to find a similar reader for Mac with a super search like feature... (I'm using Unison which is great, except for that)
 
Does the newest version of NewsLeecher let you preview jpgs/contact sheets before downloading them, or has this always been a feature (which version)?
 
Here's something worth mentioning if it hasn't already. For the movie downloaders try NZBplayer it allows you to download and stream the movie http://www.nzbplayer.com/
It has a built in VLC player. I like it so you don't have to wait for the download to finish. Also if you don't like the built in VLC that they have there is a way you can open up the movie and open it it up in the actual VLCplayer so that you the settings because the built in one they have only plays the video.

Edit: Forgot to mention it repairs and extracts the video too just remember to delete the rars and pars when the download is done. It should be in the rar folder of VLCPlayer
 
ALT.Binz = simply the best
the free version is good :thumbsup: and who says you need to pay for the new versions? [Get off your butts and do a search, Alt.Binz 0.27.2 ]

I REALY like the RSS feature so much its made me add it to my firefox.

give it a try you wont be sorry!

Only using Forte Agent for many, many years, and never found reasons to switch! I guess I'm old school...

Was also using Forte Agent before but switch to Newsleecher after I got to utilize the binary download aspect of nntp more (due to dsl). It just made downloading easier for me :D
 
Yeah, I've switched to Alt.Binz. Very clean and simple interface. And it's very lightweight. I like it a lot.

I was using NewsLeecher for a little while, and I like this newsreader. Alot. But I was using the cracked version. Then a couple days ago the Super Search stopped working for me. Says I have to input my email address that I use with my Giganews account(and of course I don't have one since it's cracked). So I don't know how to get around that. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but still get that message when I try and use SuperSearch.

And since I was pretty much only using NL for it's SuperSearch, I've just switched to Alt.Binz since I think it's a better overall newsreader.

I'm really glad I've discovered the other newsreaders though. Or I'd still be stuck with GrabIt.
