Well, there's always the Newzbin search engine for a small fee, although they
got caught a bit flat-footed when GN started increasing retention without
telling anyone.

Since Forte Agent is totally configurable, its interface requires some effort on
the part of the user. There is an NG dedicated to this:
alt.usenet.offline-reader.forte-agent

No, NewsBin Pro is_not_a newsreader... it is a binary downloader.
Mine is set up to be associated with .NZB files and nothing more. I never
activate it as a program. When I click on any .NZB file, NewsBin pops up and
starts downloading it. It doesn't d/l the .PAR2's (except for the checksum
.par2). When it is finished, it runs QuickPar. If it needs any repair it
downloads just enough .PAR2 files to fix the problem & repairs the archive. Then
it extracts the archive via WinRAR. When it is done, it deletes all of the
garbage files and leaves you with a ready-to-burn DVD file.
I find all of that rather convenient.
