NewsLeecher is the kind of tool you simply can't live without. It is a Usenet downloading application that allows you to download software, image, audio and video files in a few elementary steps.
Automatic extraction and download managerAmongst its most cherished features we count the download manager / scheduler, PAR2 (parity archive volume set) support, automatic RAR extraction, SSL support and multiple simultaneous connections.The user interface may seem complicated at first glance, so make sure to check the online forum first, in order to learn how it works. There are also a lot of tutorials available on the Internet, if you ever get lost in its functions. Multi-download support and detailed display of infoUsage is not rocket science: first you need to set up a server, and then connect to it. Searching is done extremely fast, thanks to SuperSearch Service.

The time it takes to download a file depends on size, number of leechers, and other factors, but it is generally fast.NewsLeecher supports NZB files and multiple servers. It is possible to pause all active downloads by making just one click, and the application can be minimized to system tray.
In addition, the software can automatically check, repair and extract any files you have downloaded.NewsLeecher uses a high amount of CPU and memory during the downloading process, so don't expect it to be kind to your computer. To concludeThe fact of the matter is that NewsLeecher has developed an impressive fan base, and it’s got good chances of surviving its competitors. If we have caught your attention, then perhaps you should give it a try. Filed underDownload HubsNewsLeecher is part of these download collections.

Sadly in the last few months it's had outages lasting days a week. With little to no communication from the software's developers regarding the outages has left many customers miffed.Bottom Line:Was once a great piece of software. The interface was easy to use and had many useful features.All in all: Not worth paying for and certainly not compared to cheaper or even free offerings out there.
Button Line, unless it miraculously recovers from its recent failings I'd say avoid this piece of software. What a piece of pure unadulterated CRAP (and this is different from other releases how?)A friend of mine downloads this garbage (a registered owner - he paid for this junk) and it eats his 20 million header database.I download this (a registered owner whose license has expired) and it comes up with 'your trial period has expired. THE FIRST TIME I LAUNCH IT AFTER INSTALLING THE NEW VERSION!Hell, I didn't even get a chance to try it - and now I don't want to. I haven't even used it yet and this greedy (expletive deleted) is whining and snivelling for money.The author needs a b. slap - this is just more typical poorly written and even more poorly tested code from this moron.ONE star.Here's a solution that really works:Download Grabit.
Create an account with nzbmatrix and pay them their 7 Pounds (about $11) for the TEN YEAR subscription.

I provide working solutions, not lil' fanboi schoolyard tantrums in favor of a ripoff. It does have a few minor bugs thus the 4 rating but none are show-stoppers and is one of the top 2 Usenet clients for retrieving binaries I have tried.
(Newsbin Pro is also excellent but I prefer NewsLeecher's interface). Fastest sorting of retrieved headers, import/export NZB files and built-in PAR support. Don't take my word for it - sign up for any NZB indexing site and see for your self which are the top 2 binary newsreaders used.The only feature missing is support for text articles so you will have to use a different newsreader for that. Thirteen(!) betas of new features while known, longstanding bugs remain??? This product needs a major code freeze on new features and a focus on FIXING long standing bugs and issues that have been around for ages.
If that were done this could easily become a 5-star app and I'd be the first to give it that rating. As it stands, I cannot recommend this at all and won't be renewing my license beyond this year. It also doesn't help that some of the ridiculous number of beta releases have remained up for months on end with various excuses. Combine that with the 1-year subscription fee to download new betas, er, releases and you have a serious problem.
Quick Overview:Newsleecher is one of the leading news reader for Usenet that has been around for a few years. In the past, it was known as a rather expensive but powerful newsreader, with a lot of interesting features that no other newsreader supported. For example, they were the first to introduce the so-called super search, which allowed users to browse through Usenet without having to download any headers, which in the days was a very annoying hassle one had to go through to find stuff on the Usenet.But the competition was quick to follow up and so, we wanted to check what had become of the once so popular newsreader. As it turns out, they have improved their search feature quite a and have added a new feature called “Superleech”, which helps users to automatically download stuff without having to initiate the download manually.They also offer Usenet access, which we suspect might come from Astraweb, for a relatively cheap price in a package with a subscription to their search feature.Also, you can directly browse through headers with them, and downloading speeds are very good. If you’re looking for an all in one newsreader with lots of very handy features, and don’t mind that it tends to use a bit more system resources than we would want it to, Newsleecher might be the right software for you. Our Detailed Review:For our in-dept test, we used the beta-version as it provides more features and the latest updates. Website And InstallationOn the Newsleecher website, you can choose between two different versions: The final and the beta version.
While the final is about two years old at the point of writing, it has been tested for stability, but has less features than the “beta”, which has all the latest inventions the Newsleecher team came up with. We decided to give the beta a go, and downloaded it from their website.Installing the software, we noticed it doesn’t contain any “additional offers” many other free programs include nowadays, so no need to watch your step to avoid downloading some “free browser toolbar” or anything like that.After firing the software up (nice start-up animation by the way!), we’re directly thrown into the main window. It is easy enough to understand after you’ve clicked around for a bit, but we would have liked some kind of assistance for setting up servers and stuff, like other newsreaders offer. Nevertheless, after a few moments, you’ll get the hang of it 2. PricingBack in 2010, we remember the prices to be $19.99 per year for the software, or $29.99 if you wanted to use the “Super Search”-option. In 2015, Newsleecher is now a subscription-based model: For $1.99 per month, you get the software, and for $2.99 per month, the software with Super Search included. This turns out to be $23.88 or $35.88 per year.This is not all however: Newsleecher now also offers a Usenet service, for pretty competitive prices we might add.
For unlimited downloads with unlimited speed, and a retention of “almost 2,475 days”, you only pay $11.99 a month, which includes a license for the newsreader and “Super Search”.In our view, this is a pretty good deal, and ranges somewhere between the regular plans of most Usenet providers, and the special discounts you can get for them through our site. For example, an unlimited account at Astraweb, one of the leading Usenet services, costs $8 with our discount links, and Newshosting, along with their newsreader, only costs $8.33 for their service.For anyone who loves Newsleecher and is prepared to pay a bit for it each month, these deals are pretty sweet. There are alternatives that cost less though, particularly if you just need the newsreader: §35.88 per year is a pretty steep price for a software if you ask us. Features And UsabilityNewsleecher has all the features modern newsreaders offer, like NZB support, automatic processing of downloaded files, support for backup servers. On top of all of that though, a few other things come in very handy:– The build-in spam filter scans your downloads and stops the transfer if the file is a fake. It does that by looking into the archive after roughly 8% – 10% have been completed, to filter out the usual bullshit uploads. Many readers don’t offer something like this, and spam has become a very big problem on Usenet, so this will definitely prove handy.
In some cases though it might identify non-spam posts as spam, so you should carefully check if you might still want to give the post and manually resume it if you still want to give it a go.– You can browse through headers directly, something people did in the “old days” to find content. Results are bundled in file groups, making things a lot more usable. Here is an example:– “ SuperSearch” allows you to quickly search through the entire Usenet without downloading any headers, making it a great replacement for most NZB search engines and sites. What distinguishes it from more “traditional”, web-based search engines is that a) you can sort results by group, file size etc., and b) the spam filter automatically removes fakes from the list.
Especially the last part is something that will make your life easier.Also integrated is a “ Superbrowse“-feature, allowing users to browse newsgroups without downloading any headers.– “ SuperLeech” allows you to automatically search the Usenet for new stuff and immediately download it as soon as it becomes available. This is particularly useful if you like to download content as long as it’s “fresh”. Fun fact: Some people use it to circumvent those annoying DMCA takedowns that tend to just flag everything as “copyrighted material” that broadly matches its criteria.
Since those bots may create a lot of false positives, there may be a lot of legitimate reasons to use it for this exact purpose, too.In terms of general usability, Newsleecher is pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it. Setting it up and using some its more advanced features (speed scheduling, adding a list of passwords if you like to download “private” uploads that some communities use, settings up backup servers etc.) is a bit more complicated than we’d like though. For example, the automated download handler that repairs, extracts and deleted the archives and repair files after downloading, has to be manually activated with several checkboxes.If that sounds easy enough, the spam filter can only be found in the settings menu which is hidden quite well (click “Toolbox” and “Settings” on the upper right corner of the screen). In the next version we’d like to see an easier interface for beginners.Apart from that, the software is a very powerful newsreader and we can only recommend it in regards to what it offers featurewise. SpeedEspecially when downloading with modern, very fast connections, newsreaders tend to get slow, lag, or just plainly download with less than the maximum possible speed. We use a very fast, 150 Mbps Internet connection and a modern laptop (see this article for ), so it should be possible to get around 18 megabytes per second (Mbps). To furthermore test how Newsleecher behaves on a regular hard drive (not everyone has one of the more modern SSD-drives), we changed the default downloading directory to mimic what things are like for a regular user.During our tests, Newsleecher sometimes lagged heavily.
After starting the software again and rebooting our computer, everything worked nicely though, so no idea what happened here. Anyway, this is the result we got on our next try:This result is really great, and well in the range of downloading speeds you can expect with this kind of hardware setup. It should be noted though that we had to try several times until Newsleecher finally did its job right as we explained above. A Note About StabilityThe “beta”-version we used crashed a few times while using it, and thus if you’re looking for a newsreader that is stable even though it gets updated regularly (the current “stable”-version got released in March 2013!) you might want to look elsewhere.
We think this is a minor issue, but people have different priorities. The Verdict: Loads Of Great Features, Some Stability IssuesNewsleecher is a great software with smaller issues, for a relatively high price (if you don’t go for the cheap Usenet-and-client bundle).
It can do everything a modern newsreader should be able too, such as backup servers, a powerful spam filter, search engine, and automatic downloader. The only problems we had were infrequent lags, and some crashes along the way.If you can bear with these inconveniences, go for it and try it out. There is a free trial available, so no need to pay any money until you’re absolutely sure it is what you’re looking for.
It no longer ran on a separate DOS product. And it included the same networking abilities as Windows for Workgroups.It integrated the ability to run 32-bit applications similar to or with Win32s. It also included a new way of finding installed applications through a 'Start' menu. Windows 95.
I used the service for 3 months and finally gave up. Was unable to use it with my newsreader (Forte Agent) that I paid $29.00 for. Contacted the service people at Newsleecher and they were relatively uninterested in trying to help other than to say they had had other complaints about their service on Agent newsreaders. But clearly they were not interested in finding out what the problem was. The people at Forte Agent advised me whatever the problem was it was on the Newsleecher side.The fact that using it on Agent was so miserable and their inability and unwillingness to try to solve the problems, I canceled the service after 3 months.

IMO this is the best news reader (for newspapers) availbale:PInfo:NewsLeecher descriptionAn usenet application to download movies, pictures, MP3s, and softwareNewsLeecher is a program made for managing and fetching articles from the Usenet. It downloads Usenet articles in a snap, and uses it's inline engine to assemble and decode all the downloads.The powerful featureset and state-of-the-art user interface makes it an application 'you simply can't live without' if you are a serious Usenet user.What's New in This Release: Enabled the Repair'n'Extract option which allows permanently deletion of used set files, when the set has been extracted. The option can be turned on from the 'Setup - Repair'n'Extract Tab'. Further optimized the code used for fetching headers.
Uses a bit less CPU and disk resources now. Fixed bug introduced in the previous beta, where Repair'n'Extract was unable to extract sets if the 'Time & Date Prefix Subfolder' option was turned on. Fixed bug where Repair'n'Extract would go into a loop if all the files in a Repair'n'Extract set were triggered by the user customizable ignore filter.
Fixed bug where Repair'n'Extract would hang if it tried to unpack a fileset to a folder containing more than 256 characters. Fixed bug introduced in v3.9 beta 6, where article sizes and parts count would be exagerated in the articles listview, if headers were fetched from more than a single server Fixed bug where the 'z' character could not be used in 'tray restore' security passwords Fixed bug where the splash screen would get stuck under certain circumstances (re)Fixed bug where NewsLeecher would always steal window focus when importing NZB files, even if setup not to do so The 'Notify on new Release' option didn't work in the last few betas. This has been fixed. Removed the 'Verify' option from the Repair'n'Extract toolbar. Verification will now always be performed, if the Repair'n'Extract feature is enabled.Enjoy.
