:I used some  newsreaders.  Newsleecher, newsbin pro, gave grabit and agent a
:try.  Newsleecher has started lacking in development, updates, its supersearch
:feature  has become unstable and not that good anymore. Newsbin is a very nice
:app, but i dont like 2 thing about it
:1) it takes  lots of time to load a large group

If you just use it for d/l-ing with .NZB's, you will never load any groups... I
never have.

:2) its internal search is limited to 240 days and it costs much, it doesnt
:support boolean wildmats to define search patters.

Again, you shouldn't use it as a newsreader. And the price is free if you get it
at a.b.multimedia.utilities.

:I decided to test usenet Explorer. It got very scary oldschool  interface and
:its kinda difficult to get ur way around all settings compared to newsbin pro,
:but its major advantages are:
:1) EXTREMELY fast opening of HUGE newsgroups. really fast. I was truly amazed
:2)internal search, retention 500 days, support of boolean wildmats,u can search
:by so many parameters
:On the other hand it sometimes drops downloading speeds when saving chunks to
:the diks. but sometimes not.
:In other words there is no ideal newsreader...
