I wont upgrade because I have complained to them in the past about the
way they changed Agent to a system of desk and folders that makes no
sense to anyone but them.
On top of that, I have a fair deal of experience with software and I
think whoever is writing their software is lacking the experience
required to write a stable program for a Windows OS. As far as I know,
they have still not put out a version that will deal with the Giganews
extended retention times.
For what I need Agent for, it is a lot better than the Microsoft
newsreader and does basically what I need. It only becomes a problem
when someone posts an nzb that is written in an unusual format. Being
a top newsreader, Agent should have had that ability in the first
place, even as far back as ver 5. The nzb in question was posted in
late 2009, when ver 5 was current.
Besides, good old Giganews still had the files I need posted (650
days), and I got all the originals.
Thanks for your concern, though.
