I like Grabit.
Nice and simple, gets the job done without a lot of settings or bells and whistles that aren't needed.

Alt.Binz 0.28.1(can't seem to find 0.28.2)
Besides Alt.Binz, I like GrabIt. I'm really wanting to try out SABnzbd for Linux, but can't seem to figure out how to install it. Some things on Linux are a real pain in the ass to install.

If the "Other" category has the most votes, you didn't put enough options. :P

I've tried many grabbers since I use newsgroups (Newsleecher, Newsbin, Grabit...)
And Alt.Binz is definitely for me the easiest and the more powerful one :)
- It's a "donationware", not a commercial project, and the author is ready to listen to suggestions and problems
- It integrates perfectly the major search engines with all their features (SSL, collection selection, RSS, groups browsing, nzb making).
- Its par2.exe is an improved version by the author, increasing performance with last CPU and reducing errors of the official par2 module
- Its repairing/unraring features are very advanced (ability to keep, move of erase some files in the target directory like nfo, jpg)
- It has many usefull original features like the "NZB Play" : ability to launch movies playing as soon as you begin to download it.

I like Grabit.Nice and simple!
at this moment newsbin pro but i respect newsleecher and sometimes i use alt.binz
newsrover is very good reader too, but it looks soo old-fashioned

Surprised Newsbin Pro is way behind the rest. Have used both Newsleecher and Grabit but Pro was that good I bought it. Try before you buy.......

Tried GrabIt and Newsleecher, but settled with Alt.Binz 2.8.2 :happy:

i used grab it until i discovered newsleecher... so much better and faster! i love that it downloads the par files, only the required ones when needed and it does take as much system resources as grabit.

Pan Newsreader has NZB support too.
I've used Newsbin Pro, Newsleecher, GrabIt and Alt.Binz and have decided to stick with Alt.Binz.

SABnzbd+ on my mac, without question the most complete package.
Tricky to set up but when running it's unbeatable.

I'm on mac and Unison is really cool ... but i use Hellanzb for binaries.
Its so easy... you put an NZB in a directory and bam : download, par2/par1 verification, unrar, joining split... you have nothing to do.
Works on linux too (of course).

Panic (Unison's editor) makes really great softwares... Coda (web development) and Transmit (FTP) worth a try.

I've moved onto Sabnzbd+ now. It's an excellent reader. Lightweight, browser integration, and it looks great.
Too bad Unison is only for Mac.

No doubt the best reader IMO. Uses least ram and cpu usage over any others I have tried, since it's web-based I can also control my downloads remotely! :)

Yup it can..
It's uses a shit load of resources if you download a lot but I used it before to download small stuff. But that is 10 years ago or something.

My first post!
I signed up for this website to research this topic exactly!
I've been using GrabIt for the last week and its going pretty well
but I was wondering if there was anything better.
It only dls 3 threads at a time... I know some readers dl 20!
is there something in the settings that I am missing? or is that
all the free versions offer?
what do Alt.bin and Newsleecher offer?

Grabit can use more connections if you adjust the settings, though I'd recommend Alt.Binz as the best free client.

SABnzbd+, it is great works across all platforms(free+open source). The community is active and the developer is very active in acknowledging and fixing bugs.

I use Newsbin Pro for a few years now and have no complaints :frusty:
