Usenet on a mac, what program to use for leeching.

If you are a switcher like me (throw out all your windows machines and buy a mac ;-) ) then there are some hurdles to take. One of them is finding good replacements for your usenet activities. If you’re not familair with usenet here is a good place to start.

In my old situation I always used altbinz which is by far (I think) the best and easiest to use usenet client on the windows platform. It’s freeware so give it a try if you still use a windows pc. Don’t forget to sent the authors some money if you keep using it, you will, trust me.

So I did some searches on the internet and came up with some usenet clients I would like to try. Here’s the list:

If you know another good application that needs to be added to this list please let me know!

At the moment I have no clue if these program do what I want them to do. I will install them one by one (if suited for leopard) and come back to you with my conclusions.

The application I want needs to be easy to use (support nzb-files) and basicly take as much work out of hands as possible (that why I like altbinz so much).

The result will be posted here shortly.
