GrabIt 1.7.2 Build 988 Beta beta
Publisher's Description:
GrabIt is an application that finds pictures, movies, erotics, MP3 files, software and games on USENET news servers. The familiar looking interface makes selecting and downloading files intuitive and easy.
Latest Changes:

- * Rewrote the yEnc decoder for improved speed

- * BUG FIX: Some uuEncoded binaries imported via the NZB importer where corrupted or being saved as text files
- * BUG FIX: Resuming a batch with decoding binaries that are already decoded no longer results in a hanging decoding thread
- * When there is only one server profile, the NZB importer will just import a NZB file when it is double clicked instead of showing the import window
- * BUG FIX: GrabIt now detects when the 'gobbledygook bug' appears and resets the connection before moving on to the next download item
- * Increased the GrabIt Usenet browser history to 90 days of headers
- * New layout always shows the batch statistics
- * GrabIt can now continue to download binaries with an 'Article not found' error, increasing the possibility to complete a binary with a PAR set
- * BUG FIX: 'Error downloading article' bug
- * BUG FIX: A thread being activated while GrabIt is paused will only start downloading after GrabIt is unpaused
- * BUG FIX: No more flickering status messages while GrabIt is paused
- * It is now possible to Repair and Extract to a folder outside of the Download folder
- * It is now possible to disable the creation of a new folder for each RAR set
- * BUG FIX: Repair and Extract no longer leaves behind .1 files from repaired file sets
- * The Pause button now offers the ability to automatically resume after a preset time
- * It is now possible to Shutdown, Hibernate or Suspend the system or Close GrabIt after the batch has been processed

Excellent, excellent, excellent! They added exactly what I've been asking for: SSL!
As far as I'm aware, this is the ONLY usable, free binary newsreader for Windows with SSL support. I can't recommend it enough.
Seems pretty stable for a beta. No problems so far, and the speed is great.

needs to integrate public NZB indexing site search support like alt.binz
and preferably an open architecture for expanding search options
otherwise a good free client

Unequivocably the best free binary newsreader for Windows, and also the simplest.
It doesn't have any frills like advanced filtering, but it's fast and it works. Global search, by its very nature, costs money to implement. The fact that they allow even a limited number of searches a day for free software on a free service is pretty amazing. No amount of complaining can change that. This is not P2P, people.
The only requisite feature it lacks, in my opinion, is SSL (encrypted transfers) support.

A freeware, multi-thread capable binary downloader.
Simple to set up & use. Can utilize .nzb files
Um, and YES, the Premium Search feature does cost extra (just like with Newsleecher)Why is this a suprise to people? Since when did server space become free?
Without the search feature, still works a treat as a solid binary grabber

Requires purchase of an account to do more than a couple/few searches a day. Otherwise, it would be a decent client, except it is more a commercial demo than a freeware, or even shareware application.
