I use newsleecher, but I have heard that this program is the BEST for NZB's and also for helping new people find files easily on usenet. |

Newsleecher is popular but it's not freware, and I found it to be to bloated and over loaded for my tastes.
Grabit is simpler and lighter. |

I used grabit years ago but it chokes like a pit bull on a poodle when pulling headers from the larger groups.

It may be bloated, but it does download large groups of headers easily, Grabit does not. |

I've used newsleecher since 1.0 all the way up to the current version of 3.8 beta 6 which I have running right now and I have never paid for it, and since it weighs in at a meager 4.85mb, that can hardly be considered bloatware by any stretch.

Yes it's not that bloated it's just a busy looking thing. Personally I just search Newzbin, download a nzb and that's it for me, and I download away.
I never surf and subscribe to groups anymore, and if I do it's on a rare occassion only to make a request. |
