No suitable usenet grabber for a mac
In my previous post I started looking at a suitable usenet grabber. Basicly all I wanted was an application which made it possible to download stuff in an easy way.
The application should be easy to use and do as many tasks for me as possible. So basicly I just want to drag and drop .nzb files into the application and the downloading should start. Multiple server support is not needed since I don’t use multiple servers at the moment.
Below you can see the list of apps I’ve tried. Unfortunatly Igrabnews seemed like the best option for me but it seems unsupported and outdated for Leopard at the moment.
Conclusion is that I have NOT found an application that fullfills my need. As I mentioned before I used ALtbinz before on my Windows based machine and will now start using it in a windows emulator on my mac. Simply because the application is so damn good. It does the downloading / parring and unrarring automaticly! Maybe I’ve missed the one application that does this on a mac, if so please LET ME KNOW…
For all you mac devellopers out there maybe you can have a look at Altbinz and come up with something similar for my mac. I know I’ll instantly buy and use it!

I totally agree with you mate! What VM are you using to run altbinz? I’m thinking of getting parallels to do the same thing as like you, there is NO alternative to altbinz on a mac. I’ve looked high and low and tried a few out, all inferior to altbinz.
Hopefully some mac developer comes up with something just as good!
Thanks.
