I checked SABnzbd. Actually I use its successor, SABnzbd+, since the original SABnzbd was abandoned.
I like how it works so well with my Firefox browser.

I use Unison and used to use Thoth. I don't know what Thoth can do that Unison can't.

You should really split Pan into two categories. The new betas (which are extremely stable) are much different (written in C) than the older(stable) version (not written in C). Some people still prefer the older version, although I personally do not understand why.
For text based I use the New Pan, but for NZBs(binaries) Klibido (on my system) is about 20% faster. |

Another great poll here on dslreports.com !
Been using Forte Agent when it was v1.92 (still have the floppy somewhere), and upgraded through the years.
I've tried (and LIKED!!) NewsLeecher but it is such a resource hog on my system. Plus having to install .NET Framework. |

I would have voted "other" if there were such a category.
I mainly use nn, which is a text mode reader on unix. I occasionally use knode, when I want a gui. I have tried 'tin', 'slrn', 'Thunderbird'. None of them does the job as well as nn (in my opinion).

Unison. Tried Nemo in beta and had a hard time with it. Wonder if they ever got it going.....

I am now, and always have been, a fan of Forte Agent! The latest incarnation is elegant and achieves perfection for me. I even use Forte's own Usenet service (Agent Premium News) as my provider. I can't say enough good things about the team. |

Thanks for the poll, jmorlan  !
In Linux I use klibido for binaries and knode for text-based groups (I didn't see an 'other' choice but knode would be it). In Windows I use Grabit.

Thanks for the Poll jmorlan !
Have used several different Newsreaders in the past, but I'm a "none" kind of guy now, so that's how I voted.
