We all know of Grabit and newsbin, but are there any better progs out there? Grabit is great, but on older machines its pretty memory and processor intensive
Oooh, have you tried this **** out, Mr Flipwhizzbimbambizzle?
edit: on a separate note, me and James are running grabit at work now
Mozilla Thunderbird - IMO way better than Outlook Express, does my emails and newsgroups nicely

mIRC?
I mean more specifically, newsgroup leeching progs
I wish Grabit wasn't so resource-greedy

It only fudges up if I try to update alt.binaries.dvd lol that takes about 100 years, or more. So I skip that lol.
just a quick note to say cheers for suggesting grabit ! when it asks for my newsgroup i just put in my default ntl one (news.cable.ntlworld.com) . Are there any others or are they any decent groups worth subscribing to ? looking to *backup* my original copy of *ahem* farcry just cant seem to find it on the newsgroup, anyone know where it is ?
cd.image.games or alt.binaries.games
i'll take a look muchos gracias !
