Usenet/NewsReaders — suggestions?
zridling:
Found this list of newsreaders and was wondering which one you use and why.
mouser:
for reading text posts, NewsRover (version 11 just released); has great filter/search functions.
Carol Haynes:
I know it usually receives howls of horror but I still use Outlook Express, mainly because I can use it purely as a newsreader from OutlookXP.
I tried Mozilla for a while but didn't really get on with and I have downloaded various clients but never really seen any reason to pay for one.
jpfx:
newsrover?.... ughh If you collect 1000's of posts it becomes unuseable. plus regular $10 fees for updates
OE craps html into usenet and should be banned.
Agent 3.0 is an excellent text newsreader. http://www.forteinc.com
newspro is the ultimate text newsreader with a learning curve to match. http://www.netwu.com/newspro/
The newspro author has release usenet explorer which I hear good things about. http://www.netwu.com/ue/
newsbin pro 5.0 is great for binaries. http://www.newsbin.com/
newsleecher is the easiest for stealing software and useless at everything else. http://www.newsleecher.com
Take your pick.
jpfx:
I forgot one that really deserves a mention: newsman pro. http://www.newsmanpro.com
All round good program with superlative support from the developer.
