Ask WHSLacrosseKid. I'm sure he'd be glad to oblige. ;)

I have grabit but it downloads files as .txt rather than the format it should. maybe i have to configure it or something? i'll try newsbin pro since that seems like the preferred program.

Forte Inc's Agent can run in a free mode and is very easy to use, easier to use than Newsbin. I use Newsbin myself though.
