9/16 what is a good usenet news reader for windows?
\_ NewsFerret. Hard to find, but great for searching. -John
\_ outlook bar none.
\_ Yeah. non-buggy newsreaders are for wimps
\_ Agent.
BNR(Binary News Reader) is good if you are only downloading binary
files.
\_ Start with Free Agent. Upgrade to Agent if you like it. Also,
BNR(Binary News Reader) is good if you are only downloading
binary files.
\_ Agent sucks cause it doesn't view pictures inline.
\_ Iview. Tag and execute dozens at a time, each gets it's own
no frills window and you can get off on a few pics while the
next 50+ are loading. ;-) Better than inline.
\_ I can't believe Sodians didn't mention Xnews. I used to use
\_ Is it installed on Sodia?
Agent myself, stumbled to this Xnews on accident because Agent
had some problem with Netscape. Once i switched to Xnews,
there is no turning back. Xnews has almost all the good stuff
Agent has (i.e. regex filter), but lighter and it's FREE.
only problem i have is to display different languages in
different groups. Xnews' website is not reliable, do a google
and search for keyword for "Xnews" and "Luu Tran" for other
downloading site
\_ What if the only thing I'm doing is download yenc encoded multi-
part binaries? Is Xnews better for that than Agent?
\_ if that's all you care about, try GrabIt
http://www.shemes.com/grabit. Or use yProxy
http://www.brawnylads.com/yproxy and use any newsreader
you want.
\_ It's all I care about. Thanks for the links. |
| www.shemes.com/grabit -> www.shemes.com/ You can find this build in the About screen inside the Help menu in GrabIt. If you are using the old build, GrabIt should warn you about it if you have the 'Check for update' feature enabled. Changes: * Fixed the broken filter buttons (only surfaced on some systems); GrabIt Newsservice 3 day trial - 08/07/2003 22 Top It is now possible to try the GrabIt newsservice for three days for only $2. You will get full Usenet access with a download limit of 750MB/day. After three days the account will be automatically terminated. One with a 2500MB a day download limit and the other with 5000MB a day download limit. More information can be found on the 25 GrabIt Newsservice information page. I still have some work to do on the information / support website, but the subscription routine is working. So anybody who would like to jump in before I finish the website click 31 here. PLANNING: Shemes newsservice - 06/12/2002 32 Top I would like to open the 'Shemes newsservice' featuring: * Over 100,000 Usenet newsgroups; You won't be obligated to do anything, but it would give me an idea just how many people are REALLY interested. The only old code still in there is the 'processing headers' routine which is still very slow and uses way too much memory; Less incomplete binaries with descriptions like (1-17,17-21 of 21) should appear; When there is not enough free disk space left on the file system GrabIt will automatically pause the batch and notify the user. It now contains separate folders for groups, articles and temporary files; When the decode process detects any other character in the filename, it will remove the character; GrabIt, Shemes and each of their logos are trademarks of Ilan Shemes. |
