Recently I changed newsgroup provider and lost the customised version of news rover you get with it.

I've been looking around and the best i've found so far is Agent. But really, it's nowhere near as good as newsrover. It's so much more difficult to find and download the specific attachments you want.

What do you people use, any recommendations? Thx. Wink

Haven't used newsbin in a while .... Is it still a resource hog with a large # of headers?

It's a machine crashing experience. Although I never bother with headers now.

I find newsleecher so much more friendly since I just recently moved over to it.

That's why I stopped using it Very Happy I don't find it as good for nzb files and getting headers from any group freezes it up Sad

I only find newsibn a strain if I leave it to load a huge spool after downloading a lot. In that case it's just a simple close app > reload. Takes no more than 10 seconds Smile

Most of the dvdr groups have over 5000000, so yeah. Newzbin loads headers directly into your RAM, and the overload problem is common.

like I said I have no problem downloading 1,000,000 headers. Its when I download a film and leave it idle for a few hours (with a 500,000 spool loaded) I then proceed to clear the search bar (wrong time to do it usually) and then I will 'download latest' from another 'main' group. Sometimes the lag can be a few minutes sometimes seconds. I usually just close it and start again anyway. I've also grown too used to the layout and workings of newsbin to actually like newsleecher.
