Can someone recommend a good newsgroup downloader/reader?
Years ago I used to use a product called FREE AGENT to download files (mostly PICS) from the internet. I recently tried porting the program from an old WindowsNT machine into XP and it didn’t run.
I really liked that I could subscribe to 5 of my favorite newsgroups and pull down 100 or more pictures from each without all the pointing & right clicking etc.
The company doesn’t support the FREE AGENT product anymore and I don’t like the interface on their regular AGENT product.
Anyone know of a product that’s currently available that does what FREE AGENT used to do?

There’s not many good free news readers or providers for binary files. if you’re willing to pay for a provider you could use GrabIt and pay for a subscription to Giganews
