im using newzbin pro now at the beginning of my 2nd 10day trial (jus so happen i had to reformay my PC this weekend) ... it says if i dont buy a key then i will be bombarded w/nags and my downloads will pause?

i hear things about Grabit ... is this Grabit thing free and if so is a better then Newzbin?

thanks for any insight ...
 
I would like something that have search function for free. I tried Alt.binz, but didnt really like the search system..
 
I have always used NewzBin Pro for my favourite groups, download the headers on a regular basis and then browse the groups to see what is in there, not everything is reported.

I use Newsleecher & supersearch for searching for anything I am looking for and places like torrentleech gives me the filename I can use if it is a specific release I am aiming at and with a 200 day retention to search these days, most things are found with ease.
 
What's wrong with alt.binz' internal search system? It does provide you with several news indexing sites and lets you search on your newsserver directly too (which admittedly takes some time).
 
Ditto. Alt.binz is much more comfortable to use and since I've come to use that application I don't have any completion problems anymore, unlike GrabIt which sometimes fucked up.
 
i think NewzBin is the best for download, its search capability is probably not the best, but decent.

Fact is if you can get nzb files elsewhere so don't need its search function at all.
 
Yes. First you mark the group and then you can start the search. It's a good idea to start with filenames or parts of it and it shows you before your download if parts are missing on your server.

I hardly ever use that feature though because I haven't had problems with my downloads in forever and there's always the auto-par feature of alt.binz. Setup correctly, .par2 files are paused when an nzb is added (external or internal) and only downloaded if the additional parts are needed.
