Newsreaders...

[lpetersson]

Is anyone out there still using Usenet?
If so, which news readers are good these days?
I'm looking for one that is as lightweight and small as possible.
It's fine if it's simple without too many bells and whistles...

Amazingly I don't think I've used usenet in years...

Only one I use is Gravity.

Dunno how good it is though.

Perhaps not surprisingly I'm geeky enough to both remember Usenet and still use it regularly!
Which reader depends on what you need - threads or binaries.
I think Forte Agent is still the best for reading posts; and currently I'm using NewsBin for binaries. And it's so good I even bought a licence :)
As for servers I whole-heartedly recommend Giganews - probably the best retention period out there and fast enough to max out my 6MB connection.
Hope that helps!
