Re: Usenet Newsgroups

If u need to read only, then outlook express comes with windows. or you can use Thunderbird if u are a mozilla fan. For Binaries .... google for usenet bin pro .. or usenet bin client .. and it will list many.

Ewww, outlook express! (specially if you're doing binaries)
I use Agent Pro, I think I'm still with version 2.0. Nothing beats that (although I haven't tried Newsleecher, heard some good things about it).
Once you use usenet you'd forget about torrents. ;)

Re: Usenet Newsgroups

Me and NBPro didnt mix very well. PAN looks good. Been using Newsleecher through WINE. One feature I think is very worth of the subscription, and couldnt live without is the Newsllecher Super Search - gets me what I want in seconds; saves me a fair bob in downloading headers too.
