Newsgroup indexing sites such as binsearch.info and binaries.nl make it easier to search for files that have been posted to the Usenet by allowing searches in all groups. If you are familiar with the Usenet you might know that you can only search one group at a time which does not help much if you do not know if the file(s) that you are looking for have been posted in that group.
NZB Leecher is a small freeware program that lets you search most of the well know newsgroup indexing sites at once. It displays the results in its window and you can immediately select them to download in your favorite newsreader. It queries all indexing sites and displays the results in tabs which makes it easy to switch between the various indexing sites for best results.
You may select the retention between 1 and 60 days, select some of the popular groups or a general category such as TV or Games. You have to provide username and password for some sites before NZB Leecher is able to query the site. The results are displayed fast and with all the information that are needed. If you want to download some files you have to mark them first and then select download selected from the right-click menu.
You do need a Usenet account if you want to download any files from newsgroups. I suggest Giganews, the reason is posted below this article but you are of course free to choose any service that you want.

The sorting and blacklist functions are especially handy in warez groups where there’s a large sporge activity by people who hate hacks. And no, I’m not associated with the programmer in anyway.
