NZB index sites are not that good anymore. They lack in retention, each one of
them got different issues with not finding certain posts. For instance
nzbindex.nl got only 260+days retention for this group.  Bintube is a comlete
mess considering dvd.criterion,just browse this group via bintube, binsearch
has dropped its retention to 300 days and also has started lacking in update
rates.
Thats the price for giving away free search.
I d just pay a small fee of 25+ bucks a year to get 500 days search with
boolean wildmats which none of them got(if u ever try it u appreciate it that
very minute)
and superfast loading of certain number of groups. Besides nowadays giganews
and astraweb have header compression feature  so u can get those headers way
fast. Well and i gues i jsut like it the old way lol
I also  tried Fort Agent  and to be honest my impression is that it lacks in
loading groups speedAnd though im not very fond of UE interface i couldt get
over FA interface at all.

Whys that? Its main purpose is to be a newsreader. With nzb and internal search
features. I blame poor coding.Yet still its better than newsleechers.
If i wanted to use  a client just for NZb downloading i would go for sabnzbd
which is completely free or altbinz(one payment for life)
