Best Usenet software?

What is the best Usenet software?
I don't really feel like paying for one, but if Newsleecher is really as good as everyone say's it is, then I might consider it.

I would really like a simple program with a good search facility.

Thanks.

As free software goes Grabit, http://www.shemes.com/ ,isn't bad at all.

Personally I use newsleecher, I haven't tried anything else.. but I can't fault it at all.. they've added a repair n' extract function to their latest release

Newsbin does it for me.

Newsleecher

Version 3.8, uses SSL encryption for a secure link.

Newsleecher with its supersearch here. It's not free but IMO it's well worth it.

I agree newsleecher is not free. But that is because its better than the free stuff by miles.

Having used nearlly all Binary Usenet Clients newsleecher is head and shoulders above the rest. Hugely superior to the next best which is newsbin pro.

I am the main admin in charge of our usenet service at work and I find newsleecher is the best thing to test it with.

Another vote for Grabit

Newsleecher for me, I've tried most others and they just don't compare

Drizmod · 22 Feb 2007 at 22:53

Another vote for Newsleecher with Supersearch. Superb

Newsbin Pro + a subscription to www.binnews.com and their excellent NBUFF search engine = no competition.

costs more than newsleecher. not tried it, but i can't imagine anything can be much better than nl for what I need.

Newsleecher. I used Grabit for ages but it got too buggy. My files would completley disappear after they'd finished downloading. Never had a single problem with newsleecher.

Newsleecher 3.9 beta 1 here. Been using Newsleecher for nearly two years now, wouldn't use anything else. Really love the R&E (Repair & Extract) feature, saves a lot of time.

grabit and newsbin 4.3

Binnews + 1 yr sub to Newshosting costs £1.80 a week = the world.

Absolutely no competition and I've tried them.
