#NEWSLEECHER NEWSGROUP SOFTWARE#
#NEWSLEECHER NEWSGROUP PC#

I use Lottanzb/hellanzb and they work a treat. I think for nzbs we're well provided for. I want to move away from the Dark Side and use Ubuntu only, yet the ONE thing that is stopping me making the switch is a decent binary newsreader that downloads not just NZB files, but actually fetches headers, too. I tried Ubuntu about ten days ago and fell in love with it. There's gotta be a newsreader out there that works!? I've learnt to leave a shell open so I can kill PAN when it goes stupid. three hours later it was still thrashing about.

Almost immediately it starts thrashing the hard disk ( I haven't a clue what it's doing, but suspect it's indexing headers (?)) and making the PC so un-responsive that it is unusable. Responsive,fast, well structured etc, Then, after a few weeks, as more and more headers are gathered up, bang, there's the brick wall. A bit like the Big Mac really- promises so much but delivers so little. For me it's been so unresponsive that scrolling through a long list of headers is impossible Give it the task of updating a couple of newsgroups with more than a dozen new posts and you may as well go out and have a dinner at the local pub as it takes over the PC and totally consumes all of the CPU. Downloading a group of files is just too frustrating. Thunderbird's newsreader is totally inadequate. And here's where the problem starts, from my perspective and assessment at least: Occasionally we need to look into the groups. Well behaved, stable, does what it should.Д«ut not everything is nzb. Why haven't we got a decent newsreader that provides a decent interface for binaries AND performs as it should in what we like to call the true multitasking OS? This issue is really bugging me, so bear with me But it finished up a rant so I thought it better to annoy the girls and boys in the Cafe with it :)
