Must admit I had forgotten about Forte Agent, I have used that a
long time ago...seem to remember it worked fine....
Got a bit too used to Newsleecher, their queue handling is pretty
good, and the V3.91 works stable enough for me. But that's just the
leeching side (they're not pretentious in their name branding). I
agree that there's nothing better than PowerPost for ups, I would
pay for it if they asked me. I will have a look at FA, I probably
will use it only for checking and posting messages, hoping that they
do have that quote function on board. There's one we forgot to
mention, Binsearch reigns superbly over creating nzb's imho,
although they are a bit slow sometimes.
