Today is the second day of the Ghacks Christmas Giveaway and I’m really excited about the event so far. The Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 offer received hundreds of comments and the lucky winners will be notified today. Please make sure to spread the word about the event so that it will be a success for everyone.
Today’s giveaway is one of the few software products that I have bought. I usually rely on free software but this one is in my opinion the best of its kind. Newsbin Pro is a binary newsreader. It handles downloads from the Usenet. I really do not want to get into details about the Usenet in this thread, only this much: You do need access to a Usenet server to work with Newsbin Pro. One reliable (and many say the best) Usenet provider is Giganews which I use for several years as well.
The Newsbin Pro client has been developed over years and several useful features have been added to it. But first things first. If you start the Usenet client for the first time you have to add a Usenet server and some groups of that server to the client. The useful options begin right at this stage by providing SSL support, slave and fill servers and header compression. The maximum amount of connections can be configured during server setup as well.
Groups can be added in the Groups > Add Groups menu. The client will download all groups available on the server and provides filters to find the desired groups easily.
The interface can be customized beyond what is usually possible. All window elements can be positioned for maximum screen estate. Newsbin Pro uses tabs to display the additional data. The bottom window can for instance contain the download queue, downloaded files, failed files, status, thumbnails (if you are downloading images) and more. That’s very efficient because everything is accessible in the main interface.
Newsbin Pro provides access to several features that reduce the work of the user. It includes for example automatic rar and par processing, split-file processing, automatic header updates, extensive options to sort downloads into folders, support of mp3 id3v2 tags, an image viewer and download prioritization.
It obviously supports the common features of Usenet clients like nzb integration, speed limits, extensive filters and ban options.
Support is fast and good. I did encounter problems after moving from one computer to another but they were quickly solved by the support team and the crowded forum. Linux users will be happy to know that the forum has a Linux section as the client is apparently running fine under Wine. Windows users with 32-bit or 64-bit editions of 2000, XP or Vista will also be able to run the software.
Five licenses for Newsbin Pro are up for grabs. All you need to do is reply in the comments. It would be nice if you would mention your current Usenet provider and client that you are using and what you think of them.
Update: The guys at Giganews spotted the post and are sponsoring five one month Diamond accounts. These accounts will be given to five additional users who commented on the thread.. Please note that you need to signup at Giganews and mail me their Giganews username which I pass on to make sure that they do not pay for the first month (there is no obligation to after that month). You should also note that you need to be at least 18 years of age to signup for the account.

[...] need a software program to access the Usenet. I personally use the commercial Newsbin Pro client but there are free ones out there like Alt.Binz or [...]
Kapersky sounds like brilliant software. Usually use Avast free download but Kapersky sounds great.
with rapidshare continually changing their rules and getting worse every day, i’ve been considering looking into moving to usenet for my binary needs. if this is the reader Martin recommends, then it’s the reader i’ll try first :)
From the sounds of this, if you picked me, I’d get peace from the OH as he loves this sort of thing!
Eset smart security sounds like a good software.. and ppl will be happy to contribute if they find software up for grab which they will use all the time! :)
I hope that I don’t win! Knode (The KDE newsreader) is known as the best newsreader available for any platform, and it’s free!
I cannot believe that people are still paying for a newsreader in 2008! That’s like paying for a web browser, for those of us who remember when Opera and Netscape were “products”.
Hey man, I want a License for newsbin pro…
I would love to try Newsbin, I have been using agent for many years and have never ventured out and tried anything else, I use Giganews as my server (btw is the best paid server). I guess the main reason I have never tried anything else is cause, Free agent works, it’s been around for years and basically I’m Lazy :)
it’d be nice to try out something else
Hi Martin!
Hmmm … interested by nbpro, my xnews doesn’t do ssl … Need ssl for testing others fsi than my sh*t proxad.net/free.fr (not free at all) with all censored groups.
To be perfectly honest I don’t have a clue what it all means, but I get the gist of it. But I’m entering for one of my boys (I have 4) who is computer mad and will know all about this :) Sounds right up his street.
Thats nice.
I haven’t started using usenet yet, haven’t gotten around to signing up. But this would be a great catalyst to get me off my butt! :)
I would like to try it. I am using newsleecher and nzb drop
Not using Usenet yet (mainly due to laziness), this might give me a kick to get round to it! Nice prize!
I currently use Grabit and Giganews. I am not willing to give up giganews but would like to try Newsbin…
That would probably make a pleasant change from Info Select.
This Time It’s Diffrent
I personally use Grabit! and swear to it, its FREE and the developer Ilan Shemes is a really cool and nice cat.
Great soft ,
will really do change from Info Select. I am agree with you barney_gl
All your bins belong to us…
I use news.east.cox.net for my newsgroup server
Never heard of it, wondering what tomorrow’s award would be.
i use newsbin pro already and unison on the mac.
unison is better in my opinion.
also i use a paid giganews account
Well this is an unexpected prize. Looks pretty sweet though!
well. I want to try my lucky again.
Sounds good…
I would like to try it
Back again – ever hopeful!
Great contest Martin! Good luck to the winners!
Would propably be worth a try :>
Actually none, but I know newsbin – it’s really the best newsreader.
Cool I won the last one, so there is no chance on winning this one as well, but to help with the market research Martin wants.
I have been using Newsleecher since well forever and the only reason I use that is becuase it was the first thing I came across so I really do not know of any other app.
davayte kasperskogo!
Is this a little like RSS feeds? I subscribe to RSS feeds, but I don’t have a client.
No, not like RSS feeds. Usenet was around before the web and contains over one hundred thousand discussion groups. Thousands of these groups have files available for download and NewsBin helps you find and download these files.
I’ve already got a key, Martin, give mine to someone else if I happen to get picked. ;)
Hmm… I’m still reading (like I have been doing for _years_) my news with slrn but… maybe this one is worth of trying if I’ll win this one… downloading binaries from news isn’t what I do typically but … you’ll never know…
I also use giganews but I use alt.bin as my client. Always wanted to try newsleecher…
No this isn’t a desktop RSS client.
Currently using Grabit with my Comcast account
have been using newsbin for years; downloaded terabytes with it. great built in rar decoder; auto-pulls extra pars when needed to rebuild. tracks groups well; good management tools. excellent database and dupe mananagment detector. recovers well from computer freezes.
have been downloading since unix ftp and then dos BB days; newsbin is the current king.
Nice, I love your giveaway christmas (I hope that I will win :D )
Nice, I hope I get it.
Ray
Always good news, i hope i win a license too.
Heres hopin that it’s good news week
I’m a longtime (10+ years) NewsBin user. Love it. I would like to give a license away for the holidays so PICK ME, please.
I’m also a giganews subscriber. Pleased with their service but the STAR here is NewsBin.
A functional, fast usenet binaries client.
The support forums are monitored by the developer’s and every inquiry is responded to timely.
If you don’t win the giveaway, think about buying a license just the same.
(Who the hell am I), but HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Hmm, a free license? Well, if you’re giving them away, I’ll take one, but otherwise I’ll stick to PAN for Linux.
My Usenet provider is Sasktel which I believe they use a usenet company located in California but for some reason I can’t think of the company name at the moment. Sasktel is reliable and stable with presently no restrictions other than download speed is limited. My usenet client is GrabIt. It’s freeware and it does the job. I admit its not as good as Newsbin Pro but its second in the list in my books.
I didn’t knew the software, but i’ll win
Newsbin is a very reliable and intuitive program for handling binaries. Hopefully I win.
I use usenetmonster. They allow mltiple threads and have great support. I have tried the Newsbin trial. I love the search feature. Its great when you are looking for something specific, searching across all groups. Th filters are great also. I would love to win a copy of this software.
I’m currently using Free Agent with my ISP account.
I loved the Newsbin Pro trial. Yay free stuff! I don’t use a client/provider since my trial expired recently, but I was just using my ISP.
Please please choose me, ive never won anything in my life, and i mean that! ive always wanted to use usenet but ive never been able to afford a decent client! Please let this be the first time ive ever won anything!
Thank you
John
I currently use Giganews as my NNTP provider and I concur that they are the best.
I use Newsleecher as my downloader and I’m indifferent about it. The developer has really kind of slacked off on it, and feature requests and bug fixes are often met with hostility by his forum admins. I only still use it because it’s paid for and I haven,t found a free alternative I like.
Thanks, Martin. Count me in.
My Usenet provider is “newshosting”
My client is “Grab It”
They work fine but would enjoy something that is pro :D
Also if anyone has a Newzbin Invite plz give me one at tecben[at]gmail[com]
Would love to try this – I use X-News at the moment, which is OK, but tends to hang now and again without saving any headers meaning I have to start again. When you’re only wanting one 350mb file but searching through days worth of stuff, it can be extremely annoying!
Existing nbPro user here, simply the best newsgroup leecher tool I’ve ever used… :D
I have used NewsBin for years. It is STILL the best there is. I have used several providers over the years but currently use Powerusenet. Unlimited for 14.99 and Encrypted for 19.99.
Usenet is certainly one area of the interwebs I have yet to explore. Happy holidays!
Couldn’t agree with you more. Newsbin Pro is far and away the best newsreader available. I bought a lifetime license years ago. Best money I ever spent! Quaid listens to his customers and has continued to improve this program over the years.
Nothing is faster than Newsbin when it comes to dealing with the massive volume of posts in some of the binary newsgroups. I use GigaNews and NewzBin (indexing service) so if I’m looking for something and its been posted in the last year, I can get it in a flash. Full DVD’s download in about an hour.
And its much safer than peer to peer file sharing. If you are concerned about security, Newsbin and GigaNews also let you use SSL encryption for your connections!
I just recently cleared my odometer (last cleared it about a year ago) and it was over a terabyte!!!
One of the latest features is one of the best – if you download a lot of large files that are typically compressed and split in RARs and PAR files – Newsbin will seemlessly decode the files, and then erase RAR and PAR files automatically if you want. Saves a lot of disk space and a lot of time cleaning up!
Best money I ever spent – if you use the Usenet a lot – buy it – you won’t regret it!
I have been using this for years by far the best money spent
I also use this tool for some years with giganews. I simply love it.
Was worth all the money
Nice one. In please. :)
Hi, I’m already using newsbin (on usenetserver), but I was hoping to get one for a relative. I’ve been pleased with newsbin and UNS does the job as well.
Here’s hoping I win.
mulletoi
good prog.>
Today is my birthday. Martin, could I have a Newsbin Pro key, please? It would be a great birthday gift for me. Thank you.
second try :)
I used Newsbin a few years ago before the advent of Bit Torrent. It’s kinda cool to see it still alive and well. I’m probably going to start using newsgroups again since I’m moving out of the US.
I’ve used Newsbin for many years now with Giganews. Love all the updates for Newsbin even if I don’t always see any difference. Giganews is the BEST. Tried a few other Usenet services a couple of months ago but there was no comparison. Hope they both live long and prosper :-)
One of the most useful programs on my computer. I use it daily to make my life easier.
I used to use Newsbin a lot too years ago. Amazing to see it’s still going. *jumps up and down* Pick me, pick me!
The last time I dealt with usenet was more then 8 years ago, in a time of old, good modem connection . On that time, each minute spent using the internet was really expensive. ;)
I have agent, but that’s more suitable for text groups than binaries, really. The server I use is usenetserver.com. Long retention, fast connection, and little to no problems with completeness.
interesting prize
Nice!!!
I got away from usenet with the advent of torrents, but maybe this will bring me back into the fold… assuming news.verizon.net is any good…
I have been using usenet since early 1990. I have tested almost all different usenet programs under different platforms: but newzbin is simply the best. Only reason why I still run a windows machine instead of compleatly switching to mac.
What makes newsbin so unique is its unrar/autopar and duplicate detection system. Have not seen any other usenet cliet handle it so ellegant.
Newsbin is by far the best in its class and the last stop after having used Forte Agent and XNews for years. Autopar/unrar is crucial. I’ve been a member of Easynews usenet provider for over 7 years and love the service.
I think Newsbin rocks!!! Best there is and always will be.
Need a win Please!
My first experience with Usenet was with a Mac and I had always opted for the always free but buggy multi-threaded newsreader. When I moved to a PC I felt like a fish out of water and found Xnews which worked similarly but didn’t support multi-threading in the same way. Thank goodness for NewsbinPro. This piece of software is the genuine article (no pun intended or was it???)
NewsbinPro is simply the best tool out there, especially with the search function which makes it possible for someone to never have to download headers which can be memory and disc consuming. Combine that with Giganews and you’re set. Giganews has been a solid provider for me now going 10 years and their dedication to service is simply unmatched in my opinion. So I’d love to win a code so I can get a buddy of mine set up who has been itchin’ to find out the greatness of Usenet.
Cheers.
I also want to try out newsbin pro! :-) thanks for yesterday’s kis.
I have been using giganews for a couple of years and love the 20 ssl connections and retention!
I’m currently using Giganews with a trial of Newsbin – on loading it up today it let me know of this giveaway offer!
I’ve had no problems with Newsbin, very easy to install, configure and use; and will probably buy it when my trial ends, assuming that I don’t win a copy here of course!
Giganews is without doubt the best usenet provider – it’s the gold standard which every other provider is measured against.
I use NewsbinPro each day, for it has left the others in the dust.
I just started using newsbin pro. with thundernews servers. great newsgroup reader/downloader. It really is a great piece of software. I wish I can get a key for it.
I enjoy the betas of NEWSBIN, never a dull moment… esp when it builds up a 2gb swap file on my laptop…lol. Put me down for another key :)!
Newsbin Pro is the best binary newsreader. I tested out a number of them years ago and it’s the only one I’ve found that always works, and is constantly updated to handle any issues that come up.
thanks for the review on newsbin, it is by far the best usenet download program that I have encountered, and it’s user interface makes it easy to configure. I use Newsguy and Easynews as my usenet providers… It’s great!
I use Newsbin Pro and Giganews from few years and they together with Newzbin for NZB indexes make a wonderful combination for Usenet lovers.
I have a bad taste in my mouth with Rapidshare limitations. I have already begun looking into Newsbin and Giganews because of friends who already use them and recommended them. Thanks!
use FreeAgent
Usenet – sounds great.
I have been a subscriber to GigaNews since 2007-06-26 and a registered NewsBin user since 2003-06-18.
NewsBin has cotinually improved and upgraded its feature set, and registered users have not had to “upgrade” registration beyond the initial payment! Wow.
GigaNews, well what sold me on them is they allow true unlimited NNTP downloads, and I can max out my ISP bandwidth. Let’s just say that I’ve gone over 300 GB a couple of times this year, and GigaNews hasn’t said boo. ;)
Now that we own a laptop, I would like to win a second NewsBin key to install NB PRO on our laptop as well as our desktop! Wish me luck!
I currently use Usenet server…decent service…I’m using sabNZBd as a client…I like sab a lot…I run it on both windows and linux boxes :)
yeah newsbin pro is the best usenet program i ever used
Usenet sounds good to me
I’m using Xnews and use 4 different servers, mostly Highwinds for binaries. I’d like NewsBinPro as I understand it’s better for binaries?
NewsbinPro Rocks! Lifetime license – what could be a better gift?
I have been subscribed to Giganews for 2 years and counting. Have also used Newsbin in the past, which is a great package that handled most of my needs. Would love to win to continue the experience. Great buys! Cheers!
I have it already but would be a great gift for a friend of mine
Looks fantastic I’d love to try newsbin
Newsbin Pro is just about the best Usenet client available, and well supported.
Have been using Newsbin for many years and have no complaints.I use it with usenetmonster and think they work well together. If I win will give the key to my best friend.
Hmm, never used usenet, but have always been curious, so I’m in.
Thanks!
Newsbin Pro + Giganews , a best Match.
Newsbin Pro is a truely excellent product, well recommended.
Sounds like a winner
Using Newsbin Trial & Giganes
Great program
Surely would like to have it forever.
I have been using Newsbin for close to 5 years now, Newsbin is the only product I would consider using, it was the first one I tried and I have never looked back, My prover was Giganews for 5 years also,but I am currently trying astraweb…Its ok not as fast as giganews but it save me about $10 a month.
I use newshosting.com and xnews. Newsbin is leaps and bounds better, would love to have a licesne.
looking for opportunity to try
Time to use Newsbin
Newsbin and Giganews have been my choice for several years. Tried a couple of other servers and they just don’t measure up.
I use Newshosting as my newsnet provider which seems to have had an unnanounced upgrade to 150 days retention. I would love Newsbin Pro to use with it :-)
Thanks,
W.
Some posters have been comparing Newsbin Pro to newsreader software, but the truth is that NB is a specialized binary downloading tool that can download the files, unrar them, and delete the rars. NB will also automatically download any needed pars if required. It supports header compression, and has an excellent search feature.
I’ve been using NB since March 2007, and bought a second key for a friend, my news server is Astraweb with the pay by download option $25 USD for 110 GB.
The current beta supports header compression for Astraweb, the Giganews version has had it for quite a while.
Two thumbs up from me!
This would be a perfect match for my giganews account. Thanks
I’ve been a participant in the newsgroups since the early 90’s. In that time I’ve used many different newsreaders and found that Newsbin Pro was a perfect match for my needs. We have a small local ISP and fortunately still have Usenet service for a good price.
cool
Thanks for hosting a great giveaway – I find I am excited to log in each day to see what is up for grabs. How sad am I? lol
I’ve been an Easynews user since 2003 and would like to win a copy of Newsbin Pro. I use an old version of Free Agent at the moment and I think a new news reader would be great.
Thanks.
The Answer is either 42 or 65535.
Newsbin pro sounds great. This is a great giveaway. Thanks.
I use newsbin pro today – I bought it more than 6 years ago. It’s good and reliable and works fine with my giganews account
Easynews for me is the best usanet coupled with Newsbin Pro and a good NZb site its the dogs nuts.
exellent piece of soft!
I think your site is one of the most interesting I have ever encountered and Newsbin is the best newsreader I have ever used. Please let me win a key so my brother will finally sign up for newsbin.
Thanks
Ho, hard to say something about an application I just started to try. So what I’ve read about it, it should be worth a try…
Until now I used to have Usenext as my provider, but there are several problems on downloading and retention, so I decided to try another provider, which is now Astraweb (with the same conditions like GigaNews, but for half the price).
Because Usenext has it’s own proprietary client, I had to change this, too. And so my choice is NewsBin. Lets go and try…
using earthlink cable for usenet access…hopefully i am deemed worthy for a license
great contest, i use my isp as provider for news groups and would love to try a new version of this software
NewsBin!
The ultimative newreader…
Its like a Swiss knife and a Leatherman together.
It does not suffer from “featureitis” but has very useful options like ID3V2 TTag reading.
Also have no headache about some damaged files because of the wonderful “Autopar” tool.
This newsreader is simply a go!
I have been using Newsbin Pro for a very long time and have tried more than my share of usenet programs. Newsbin Pro is by far the best!!
I use my ISP’s newsserver and Usenetserver.com. They have a good retention and completion, also tried other providers and seem to return to usenetserver. Definately recommend using newsbin pro, well worth the money for a lifetime key. (very useful info: free usenet search engine (”http://www.binsearch.info/”)) Have Fun!!
I have used NewsBin Pro under 32-bit and 64-bit WIndows and have always been happy with the product. I use Usenet.net and Easynews.com as my NNTP ISPs and have always been happy with the combination. While Usenet has lower retention than other NSPs, They have less spam and better network throughput.
NewsBin’s rapid release cycle, powerful feature set, and just-does-everything-automatically extras would keep me upgrading even if upgrades *weren’t* free for life.
Newsbin is the best Usenet app out there by far. If you like music, video, & porn then there is no better way to get it that Newsbin!
(I wanna win a key!!)
Ive tried all the others way back when and i have to say Newsbin has evolved into an even better product . i found it to be the most userfriendly of the readers and it continues to be so. Yes there are free ones and some are quite good if you like to muck about, i dont.
set it and forget it. I hope rapdishite et all die a horrible and timely death. long live usenet.
I use Grabit with EasyNews. Both awsome.
Best usenet software out there. Been a registered user for MANY years. Highly recommend it.
Haven’t tried usenet out in years, but it is worth another look apparently.
What do you need to offer for me to buy and/or register your product?
1. Make it reasonably priced (check)
2. Design it with ease of use (check)
3. Offer good support (honestly, cant answer this one as i have never required support for this product)
Those are the only criteria I ask of my software. As such, I have been a registered user for a few years now. I have tried others both before and since registering but when I am using my ‘Windows’ box, I always go back to what for me is tried and true. Newsbin Pro’s focus is Usenet, and specifically ‘the bins’. That is what it does, and does well. The program has plenty of options and is highly yet easily configurable. No doubt the recipient(s) of the free keys will no doubt be pleased. Should I be lucky enough to be given a key, the spirit of giving will surely continue as I know of a few that would be grateful to find a key in their stocking come Christmas day.
Newsbin is the BEST
this thing is better than sliced bread!
Man THANK YOU GOD for allowing us to have newsbin and all news groups
Count me in!
Newsbin is definitely the fastest and most efficient binary news “reader” (downloader) that I have encountered.
Have been using NewsbinPro for years. It is the best IMHO. It is well worth the price of admission. Using newshosting.com
I am also a huge fan of the Giganews/Newsbin combo! I’ve been using GN for many many years, I have a grandfathered account of $100/yr 100GB max.
I use it of the most of several newsreaders.
My only complaint is that their online help-wiki is incomplete & the whole discussion on header management is a bit confusing.
I have been a giganews user for almost 10 years and can not beet them for retention, completeness and speed. It cost a bit more but well worth the money. As for Newsbin I have been using for about as long and there is nothing better out there. With the addition of NBZTV you live is easy you just need to show up and watch your download. I am using both right now while surfing.
Well I’m using this very goog program with easynews and it never let me down. Even the betas where near perfection andnow with some new features we will get an even more well programmed piece of very good and cheap software.
Thanks for all who med this happen.
Love the program and all the features. I would be hard pressed to replace it!
i have a friend who uses newsbin pro/giganews
he loves it
pick me!
Hello all -first I’d like to say NEWSBIN is the best reader out there – tried a few other but NEWSBIN works excellently, is fast and the development team is first rate in keeping users up to date on teh next beta or feature that is coming out. I use easynews, which is good but doesn’t have the long term archive that giganews supports. Sounds like a best of breed combo to bring both together. Thanks in advance!
I tried Newsbin before (older version)- I liked it!
Newsbin is the best Binary Newsreader around I’ve used it for years with Power Usenet
I have recently turned my girlfriend on to Usenet & would love to give her a key to Newsbin
for Christmas
I’ve been using SABnzbd+ with Giganews with great results. Full integration with Newzbin and a Firefox addon.
I use grabit for my NZB’s, and my provider is giganews, which by far is the best.
I hope I get picked, newsbin pro sounds awesome.
Newsbin has been the most stable software I’ve found to handle ultra-large groups. The options to Compact View (consolidate all grouped files into one name) and download options (folder creation, auto-UnRARing, etc.) have been a godsend.
Newsbin is the best use it every day!
Ive been using newsbin since the days of the dreamcast, and its still going strong. Big props to newsbin !!
I have to agree, it is one of the best
Newsbin is the best and has the best support. If you can think of a feature, they will implement it (although to be honest, they seem to stay ahead of my requests – about the time I think it, they have a new release that includes it ;)
Currently use grabit, would love to give Newsbin a try! My current usenet provider is astraweb. Pretty good bang for the buck.
Newbin ROCKS! ~ I’ve been using it for several years now and can honestly say I have no complains. I’ve used in on every system from Windows ME, to XP, Vista 32 and 64-bit. It used to be somewhat of a RAM hog, but they’ve since fixed that and with the addition of AutoRAR there’s no need to even extract the files once downloaded. I have been through the forums a few times and always noticed the developers personally addressing any issues a user might have, name any other product that has such support for $35 for life!
It worked so well for me I gave my dad a copy. He likes it too and has even taught me a couple of tricks.
Hey guys,
Great of you to give away some Newsbin keys. I’ve been using Newsbin for several years and just love it. I’ve been spreading the Newsbin word around for a long time and it would be great X-Mas gift for a few friends and relatives of mine.
I hope you pick me.
Cheers and Peace
I have been using Newsbin for years, as well as Giganews. Once you have a Newsbin license, subsequent upgrades are free. Giganews has 120+ day retention, and great completion rates. This is the best software/usenet server combo out there, which tells me ghacks knows what they are talking about. I don’t need the license or a free month of giganews, I just wanted to comment that this is a great combo offer, and thank ghacks.net for giving out such a great prize.
:)
Martin Brinkmann Rules!
Newsbin and Giganews, the ULTIMATE USENET EXPERIENCE!
Newsbin and Giganews are both amazing! Been using both for years as well. Giganews currently supports amazing 240-day retention. I can sure use another set of Newsbin and Giganews so I can access usenet at work!
Newsbin Pro and Easynews rocks! Never used Giganews but I’ve banked up hundreds of rollover gigs on Easynews over the years and have recently discovered hi-def x264 movies. There goes my gig bank!
I’ve been a Newsbin user for almost a decade now. It’s a very solid product that does all I need and then some.
i didn’t win the kaspersky i hope i get this one this time….. I have never used this before i hope i could give it a try…. ty…..
Researching newsbin on the net leads me to believe that this software is the best for
multiple binary downloading.
Thanks for mentioning it.
good & nice
Got to love the newzbin and newsgroup server combo – its how I get most of my value out of the internet!
When it is about usenet, I had the best experiences by far with Newsbin, which I use for years now, and Giganews, which I finally found the best by far. Greets from Germany, Tom
I’ve never used newsbin, looks good though and has got to be more stable than GrabIt.
I have been using NewsBin for many years. It’s a great Usenet client.
I would love a license for Newsbin, currently trying out various newserver clients to find a good one, and I like newsbin the best but its only a trial version i have.
I’ve been a user of Newsbin for almost as long as the company has been in business (10+years) and I love it … only program I use. I’ve also been a big fan of Usenet Server (not the best, but very reliable).
Giganews costs too much. I prefer Newshosting.com — they’re cheaper and fast. I’ve been a customer for two years. Responsive customer service. Emails are answered in minutes, not hours or days.
My Usenet provider is Giganews, not cheap, but reliable and fast. My client is “Grab It”.
Check out http://www.easynews.com – They have a great web interface, no client required.
Giga news is WAAAAYY overpriced. Usenet is usenet. Go with one of the lower priced providers. No sense wasting your cash on a site that just overcharges for no good reason.
There is no single more effective combination for making the most of what’s available on usenet than a Giganews Diamond account, and Newsbin Pro.
Unless maybe you throw https://www.binsearch.info into the mix.
Please count me in for the giveaway-
Nice site. I have been using Newsbin Pro for YEARS. The only newsreader worth its weight in gold if it were shipped on cd. lol.
My news service is with usenetserver.com 40 bucks/3 months unlimited. Movies, Music, Games, Programs. Adult Content? (lol) at your finger tips. Need i say more?
Now to tell three friends about this who will tell their three four more friends and so on. lates
Newsbin has always been easy to use and reliable. I recently had a machine crash, and they were very helpful in restoring my licensing key.
I don’t know what sites Time Warner is now blocking on Usenet. I have been a customer of both for some time now and am quite satisfied.
Nice… I am surely in on this one.
I purchased Newsbin Pro back in the Version 3 days because I wanted to have a good product to download binaries (pics in those days). The folks have continued to enhance and improve the product so that now using the 5.5 beta to download movies, there is virutally nothng to do beyond deciding which movie I want; it does the rest. That means it automatically uses the pars to check for completion and then it combines the parts to yield the completed movie. All I need to do is watch/burn it. For me, it has been worth every penny I paid for it and then some.
I’ve been using Newsbin Pro for years, and have subscribed to Comcast (GigaNews), GigaNews, Newshosting, and NNTPJunkie. NBPro is outstanding software, and Giganews is probably the best premium Usenet service provider. The best budget provider I’ve found is Newshosting.
I have been using Newsbin Pro for many years now and love it! They keep adding new features all the time and fixing bugs. Best software I have ever bought for Newz! Love IT! Keep it up guys!
I told many friends about this and they all got it as well.

Newsbin is the only tool I use for Newsgroups. Whether you are a using the search function or just downloading a gig of randomness Newsbin is a capable program.
Newsbin has proved itself to be the best tool I’ve used for newsgroups; once I started using it — I got hooked, I’m using it for over three years now. And combined with the Giganews service it’s a bomb dot com, no kidding.
I’ve been using Newsbin and Giganews for over a year now and have to say there is no comparison. My Newsbin Pro license is about to expire and I’d love to be a part of the giveaway!
NewsBin Pro is the best!
I have been using NB Pro for over 3 years and never had a single issue. The whole usenet thing can seem a bit daunting when you first try to set it up but NB Pro Wizard had most of it done for me.My ISP did not hold many files on its news server so I signed up to Giganews. Add QuickPar to this mix and I have only ever had 1 file I could not extract in all this time.
NBPro user for 5 yrs, killer apps, Giganews IS the premier usenet provider, bar none.
There’s only a few apps I can’t live without, and NB Pro is surely in the top 5.
Just recently learned NB…sure is better than any of the alternatives we’ve tried.
This is the best news reader program for d/l files. Keep up the fab work.
I have been using this program off and on for years. I can say support is amazing, the product does as describes and more. They have a message of the day that even as a Canadian I find very useful. Their communication to their customers is amazing.
Honestly, everyone raves about the software, but that aside, I want my post to focus on the company. I can only wish that all companies acted like this. Terrific company. I could not have asked for anything better!!!
Very good site and promotion.
I use free.fr
I agree newsbin pro is realy great and friendly.
I also use grabit and that one is also oke….
thanks

NewsbinPro was the first multi-thread binary reader on the scene; and still one of the best. I will give Giganews a whirl scince RoadRunner closed its doors to Usenet.
Gr8 site..
