Its not that nice.

 

[WyteWatt]

Ausm some of the newsgroup clients check to see if you need any pars files and only download the ones you need for you.

newsleecher all the way

easynews web app

 

[WyteWatt]

The cool thing about easynews web app is that everything is already extracted for you by easynews servers and you can stream stuff off of easynews servers if you wanted to!

 

[bigrash]

grabit is my favorite. I like newsleecher too

Grab-it FTW.. I hardly do the Usenet thing anymore though, torrents are so much better.

Grabit.

Although do any of the other ones have a search feature, not within a group, but searching all the newsgroups on a server? Makes finding things so much easier if you're not subscribed to a particular group.

You can find older games, programs, movies, etc. on torrent.. good luck going through newsgroups to find anything older then 60 days.

55 to 56 days. Retention will increase more soon.

You do know you can request?

You always get your maximum speed and everything is there sooner or later if you wait. BT is slow lol and ... Oh well when it happens I will be laughing so hard. Thankfully a lot of loops you have to go around keep most people off newsgroups so we don't have to deal with 1000s of people whining constantly.

 

[Pantoot]

If only grab-it would hurry up and support more than 8 threads at once.

 

[Kaervak]

No love for Xnews?

 

[WyteWatt]

BrokenVisage there is a lot of old stuff on newsgroups. I seen stuff thats very old. Now if they don't have what you want all you have to do is ask. Did you try that already and get rejected hehe ?

 

[Kelemvor]

I always used to use Agent (or Free Agent) but then I switched to NewsLeecher. Wouldn't ever go back.

 

[spidey07]

Agent.

 

[WyteWatt]

Agent is pretty cool.

Easynews web, I hate downloading headers and putting pieces together.
