CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Designed as an integrated Usenet reader for accessing a variety of file types, News File Grabber is easy to use and quick to master. It has a nicely designed, easy-on-the-eyes interface that's not cluttered with too many buttons and panes, as many newsreaders are. Setup is simple, and the app performs quickly and efficiently in the background, whether it's downloading text, video, audio, or photo files.

News File Grabber ran very quickly in our tests, even when downloading multiple threads and large media files. Specifying downloads to save and managing those files is very simple with News File Grabber, as is choosing and deleting groups, and making and forwarding posts. The nag screen that appears at the beginning of launch during the demo period is only a minor annoyance. Whether or not you're a novice, you'll find plenty to like with this user-friendly newsreader.

Publisher's description

From Rsbr-Software :

News File Grabber is a specialized newsreader, which lets you easily download and extract all kinds of attachments and binary files (pictures, movies, or sound) from the newsgroups on the Usenet. There are many decoding schemes supported, including MIME, UUE, base64, and yENC. The program automatically combines multi-part articles, supports multiple servers, up to 20 download-threads, SSL-connections, XPAT-Search, NZB-files and UnRAR.

Version 3.3.0.1 features grouping your favourite newsgroups by categories (and the XPAT-Search can process a complete category, not a single newsgroup only), as well as some other improvements.
