Had newsleecher now for a year or so and having a few little issues with it. Just wondering if it's the best out there?

Any others i should look at?
 
^ You can't browse groups with Alt.Binz. You can only download NZB's with it. But that's all I do anyways, so Alt.Binz fits me perfectly. I'm liking this reader more and more everyday. It's completely replaced NL for me.
 
Woe, I've really only used GarbIt. I've always thought it was perfectly fine, and one of the best, if not the best. But then again, I'm totally new still to Usenet.

So definitely try out the other ones mentioned in this thread. Thanks.
 
Newsleecher is the first reader I have ever used. Tried some others along the way, but ALWAYS returned to it, and as far as my exprience goes, it's the best. No other reader can compete with its well-designed interface and features, IMO. Besides, you have said that you are having a few issues with it, so why fix it if it ain't (totally :P) broken?
 
SABnzbd !! Best one out there. Tried Newsleecher (Way to messy), Grabit (Only usefull when you just started to use newsgroups), Alt.binz (Very good and free client, but for the newer versions u have to pay)

But SABnzbd is the best one out there, and with a few tweaks you can upload your nzb's from school our anywhere else trough this website interface. And watch all the shows when you get home. REALLY the best one out there. Oww and if you wanna try it download SABnzbd+ not the SABnzbd, because SABnzbd isn't in development anymore but the + one still is.

You can't directly browse groups (you can't download headers). But you can browse them indirectly using the built-in access to the indexing sites such as newzleech/binsearch. This works just as well without the CPU/bandwidth/headache of downloading headers. Browsing takes seconds.

i like alt.binz better since it unrars after it downloads. You can also have it delete the files.

I like it too but it is buggy. For instance, sometimes it just stops downloading for no reason. This has never happened using agent so I'm sure it's not my server. Also, you can't download headers which you may never need but it's nice to at least be able to.

I haven't had any downloads stopping before they're suppose to be. I'm using version 0.27.2. If you're not using that version then give it a try.

EDIT: Actually, I just checked and the newer versions(0.28.0 and 0.28.1) are finally available on Usenet.
 
I have tried about 7 different news programs and this one too, but i have fallen back on ALT.Binz man all i can say is that this program is so easy and simple , u guys should try it and its free :)
