    Reviewing 2.0 Beta 3 (Mar 6, 2008)

    GrabIt won't handle 4.7 million headers on this box--Binbot has no trouble
    and is only using 100MBytes of memory to do so.
    A search took about two seconds (much the same as GrabIt for groups it can
    handle) and much better than Forte Agent, Uhm? Binbot shows all messages
    that match the search in just a few seconds, while FA 3 takes as little as
    a few seconds to show just the next one.

    Haven't checked the "open NZB" file action at all, haven't checked SSL con-
    nect competently.
    Also haven't _Yet_ played with the advanced multiple server options.

    No NZB support. End of story.
