    Newsgroup Client

    Looking for something that is efficient and easy to use. I used to use Easynews and was a huge fan of their autoRaR function and HTTP interface, but need something with unlimited bandwidth. Probably going to go with Giganews, Can anyone make a recommendation for a client?

    I've been using Forte Agent for years. I'm not a power user though, so I can't expand on my likes/dislikes with it. Mainly just browse rec.art stuff.

    It's only free if you're paying for the unlimited download plan.

    Wow... so you download like 20 gigs a day? That's a lot of porn (or whatever you download)...

    I guess I look at it from the perspective of someone without the free time of a college student. 20 gigs downloaded a day with a job means that's all you do, with zero time to actually enjoy the content you collect.

    Yeah I know what you mean, I have stacks of movies and games I have no time to watch and I probably only download 10-20gb/month
