    When the layout is configured, Pan has a really nice workflow with its keyboard shortcuts. Does NZB well, too. Just needs small tweaks like the ability to pause PAR2 files and virtual folders. Although NewsLeecher runs fine on Linux, I switched to Pan because it's superfast and memory efficient.

    I was looking for a more updated substitute for my excellent Gravity.

    Unfortunatelly, althought the program works quite good, it requires GTK+ runtimes, which IMHO is a big drawback.

    For Linux I'd give it a 5 since it's clearly the best option for that platform. For Windows I prefer Newsbin Pro 5.x, but there are several others (Windows) that beat out Pan as well. I wish Newsbin and Newsleecher, etc. would provide a port to Linux, but that's another topic entirely.

    Too much of a pain in the a$$ to install.
