I pay around eight quid a month for newsleecher. That includes a very fine news
server(s) + an easy to use newsreader and their wicked Seperleech and
supersearch feature. The former constantly looks for things you want and
downloads them before they are taken down.The latter being easily as good as
Binsearch IMHO.Everything in one GUI.
Like all newsreaders Newsleecher will have a certain learning curve but hay! I
can always send you instructions via E-mail. You are charged monthly so even if
you don't like it and leave you do get to keep their reader albeit with less
functionality.
RIB.
