I've been using Grabbit for a while now and more and more I am finding missing articles. The reason for this thread was to ask what other people use and which seems the best, most reliable etc.

It's been asked before and missing articles most likely have nothing to do with your software, they're most likey gone from the servers.
SABnzbd is great you can check if the nzb is complete before downloading it.
Yeah, I'm with copystuff on that. When I first started out with usenet I used Grabit before, too. But i switched because it would crash alot after a n hour or so if i had lots of stuff in my queue. Par2 errors were frequent too. SABnzbd I virtually have almost no problems with in comparison. I switched and never looked back. Plus I love the gui. Best free news reader IMHO.Quote:

NZBVortex is the best
newsrover is the best. I like it
nzbget
I've been using usenet explorer for a long time . It is by far the lightest on resources and the most configurable client out there
Old thread but I`m still going to throw in Newsbin (using many others keys for years now).... even better with the valid free key that WitchKing gave the link to. I come from the days of Forte Agent and uuencode/decode, base64, yEnc and running PAR (not that sub block crazy PAR2) repairs manually. All now so wrapped up which is why it made it the DMCA target but hey you have to pay the price for automation and ease of use.
I use unzbin simply and really easy. Would recommend but not sure if its easy to find anymore.
I use Sabnzb and it works great. Another one you might want to look into is Bintube. Bintube lets you stream as you are downloading which it freaking awesome.
NZBGet is an essential download tool for embedded systems
I'm on SabNZBd and have been for years now... Runs smoothly without a hitch.
Looking at this thread though, I noted the bit where someone pointed out that it can test whether the file is whole before downloading. Anyone know how to do that? Or does it do it automatically?
Config -> Switches -> Queue -> enable "Check before download".Quote:

I've been using newsleecher for many years. I really like its "superleech" function. It auto downloads most of the tv shows as soon as they are available, well, non-encrypted ones. I do have to pay for that feature, but I think it's worth it (for me at least). I wonder if there are other newsgroup clients with a similar feature. I've looked at screenshots of Newsbin and didn't like their auto-download feature, it lacks a lot of options. I know sabnzb has something similar, but I don't like it's web interface, I prefer a real client.
