Help Me Find and Choose a Client

[arran777]

hi can anyone recommend me a client which does the following.

1. The ability to preview movies during download

2. thumbnail picture previews

3. The ability to search sites like https://www.nzb.cc without having to open your browser

4. The ability to self extract rar files

is the any client which can do most of or all these things?

Some clients that do 2 the first two things while making the other 2 unnecessary would include Zune Marketplace and probably iTunes. This is why DRM hasn't been stamped out, people place importance on these frivolous things, fueling the machine that wishes to control content.

A few questions first ...
*What is your computer and operating system?
*What are your interests and goals - Do you want to view posted pictures as well as download movies?
*Is there a reason why you can't use more than one client (especially if free)?
*Are you looking for something free or do you mind paying? (Do you mind paying for the software? Do you mind paying for a monthly/yearly service?)

1. Is this a preview just to check for fakes and sample quality, or do you want the ability to stream throughout the whole movie?

2. Is this a request for thumbnails ("screenshots") of a movie - the kind posted on some NZB/torrent index sites - or thumbnails for an uplaoded JPG such as those posted in alt.binaries.pictures.xxx? True picture thumbnails (without having to previously download the full JPEG file) of all binary picture groups would be something you generally need to pay a subscription for, since it requires a remote 3rd-party server to download, shrink, and display all posted pictures. Or are you just looking for a client that can (re-encode and) arrange pictures that your newsreader has already downloaded into thumbnails for easy glancing?

3. This would presumably use IE as the engine within a blank frame, so can we assume that you use MS Windows?

4. That's an easy one, as virtually all the modern NZB downloaders and (NZB-supporting) binary newsreaders already have this function.
