Works like a charm

No more dl interuptions or the stupid 10sec. start-up delay

Thanks d00d

But still...

A shame Thunderbird doesn't improves itself where it needs improving.

Yeah, just imagine how useful it would be for a newsreader to access multiple servers simultaneously, open multiple connections to each, decode yenc posts, and complete posts from a different server as well as parse PAR, PAR2 and NZB files.

A newsreader isn't going to have all (or even some) of these features because they're not dedicated to file downloading. NBP does because downloading binaries is all it's supposed to do, and it's the best there is at it.

If you want a newsreader that also happens to be quite good for binaries then get Forte's Agent. Personally, I think it's a pofs, whether used for binaries or as a plain newsreader.

Newsbin does it automatically, much. I love that program - in fact one could say I was so impressed I bought it (anyone older than 25 will now be thinking of shaving&#33
