Am interested to know what news reading software you are using and why. I've been using Gabit, which has a decent interface, easy to use but buggy ... have just switched to Newsletter v1 which seems to have more features, uses less resources but is a lot less visually pleasing.

Which software version do you use currently?
 
Newsleecher under windows works best for me. I have 2.3 Final its great how many features were added from 2.1.
2.3 Now has bandwidth Limiter and supersearch comes with it.
Newsbin is to slow with large groups over 1milpost
Under Linux Fedora Core 4 Pan is Great and free!!!! My Fav

i wish i could use the latest newsleecher. i didn't know 1.0 was just as good, maybe i'll use that b/c i tend to like newsleecher over grabit.

ok, now i just looked around and couldn't find newsleecher 1.0 anywhere. anyone? :huh:

PM send.
 
Any chance you could pm me and let me know wherre I could get 2.3 from?
Would love a supersearch, am finding newsgroups pretty useless for anything other then xbox games.

never I think because since version 2.0 it connects to the newsleecher server to check if your serial is correct.

but you dont really need a newer version. 1.0 works fine
 
I'm currently using Newsleecher 2.0 beta 9... however, it's not registered and works fine. I just can't SuperSearch, which I don't need anyway.

I've tried Outlooks thing and GrabIt... GrabIt works fine, but I prefer NewsLeecher... it seems to run better on my PC.
 
I am currently using Newsleecher 2.3 - somewhat illegitimately.
Strangely I can supersearch and it doesn't report my key is illeg... perhaps I am being a bit risky... Perhaps.

Grabit does everything I can think of, except making and reading posts. It has a clean UI, which is what I like about it the most.

grabit uses imo to much resources when saving the file.

newsleecher has many options that Grabit doesnt have.
 
I'm using NewsLeecher v1.0 myself.
I actually bought a license for it because I couldn't find a decent working crack for it at the time. :ph34r:

Also have various others installed but don't really use them.(Agent,NewsbinPro,MesNews,...)
Just trying them out and comparing them with NewsLeecher.

For reading and posting textfiles I open up Thunderbird.
Would be great if NewsLeecher would have the same reading and posting capabilities like TB or OE.

It's already the best binary downloader there is imo,but that would make it only better. :)

What about our NZB section.
What about nzbzone and newzbin?

I've got a legit copy of 2.3 and I can't use the SuperSearch :(

Bah...don't really need it anyway.
I can use the searchfunction on EasyNews :cool:

Yeah its weird.
When I had to newsleecher 2.0 (also illegitimately) I had to add a line into the hosts file in order that newsleecher would not connect to the site (www.newsleecher.com) and tell me that my key was out of date - and this disabled newsleecher's supersearch.
But since I got newsleecher 2.3 I have discovered that supersearch will work and it won't complain about my key usage...
I wonder for how long though??!

Edit: Well the only good thing about supersearch is that it makes making NZB's easier to make...
But then considering the NZB's are often available on nzbzone and so on, you might as well just get the from there...
