Looking for a newsgroup news reader

<< < (5/6) > >>

I've been extremely happy with Xananews for years.  Clean and configurable.  Written in Delphi and free, BTW. 
Also has server product, I believe.

I still use Luu Tran's marvelous XNews. :Thmbsup:

[ ... snip ...]

I've tried all the big names out there: Forte Agent, Plucker, NewsGator, SharReader - and Pan and Liferea on Linux. But I always keep coming back to Xnews.

Me too.  I am a light user of newsgroups, I did a $40 bulk buy on BuzzardNews five years ago and I still haven't used it up.  Once you get used to an interface, its hard to change.  Xnews permits you to map any keys you use with Thunderbird into the eqivalent Xnews action, that may be a plus for you.  On linux I use Pan, the philosophy and interface is very like XNews.

XNews is the one & only for me
simple, straight-forward, easy, ... works

For downloading multiple binary files, I like XNews, but for browsing and reading newsgroups, I have yet to find anything that compares to MicroPlanet Gravity, once a commercial app, but now open-source and free.

Actually http://mpgravity.sourceforge.net/ was the first one I tried and I could not get it work :( It was connecting to any news server at all. No idea.
