Which Newsreader do you use?

I'm on mac and Unison is really cool ... but i use Hellanzb for binaries.
Its so easy... you put an NZB in a directory and bam : download, par2/par1 verification, unrar, joining split... you have nothing to do.

Works on linux too (of course).
 
I've tried many grabbers since I use newsgroups (Newsleecher, Newsbin, Grabit...)
And Alt.Binz is definitely for me the easiest and the more powerful one :)

- It's a "donationware", not a commercial project, and the author is ready to listen to suggestions and problems
- It integrates perfectly the major search engines with all their features (SSL, collection selection, RSS, groups browsing, nzb making).
- Its par2.exe is an improved version by the author, increasing performance with last CPU and reducing errors of the official par2 module
- Its repairing/unraring features are very advanced (ability to keep, move of erase some files in the target directory like nfo, jpg)
- It has many usefull original features like the "NZB Play" : ability to launch movies playing as soon as you begin to download it.

Alt.Binz 0.28.1(can't seem to find 0.28.2)

Besides Alt.Binz, I like GrabIt. I'm really wanting to try out SABnzbd for Linux, but can't seem to figure out how to install it. Some things on Linux are a real pain in the ass to install.
 
My first post!
I signed up for this website to research this topic exactly!
I've been using GrabIt for the last week and its going pretty well
but I was wondering if there was anything better.
It only dls 3 threads at a time... I know some readers dl 20!
is there something in the settings that I am missing? or is that
all the free versions offer?
what do Alt.bin and Newsleecher offer?
