Publisher's description
From Crystal Art Software :NewsLeecher is a Usenet downloading (leeching) application. It downloads movies, pictures, MP3 files, and software applications, and uses it's inline engine to assemble and decode all the downloads. NewsLeecher takes the best features from NewsBinPro, NewsPro, BNR, GrabIt, and other popular newsreaders and mix them together. As the originator to the NZB format, NewsLeecher has a full support for downloading via NZB files. With the built-in Super Search engine, you can search all the binary Usenet groups at once, for a specific keyword or keystring.
NewsLeecher has advanced support for leeching from multiple servers at the same time, and an unlimited number of Usenet servers can be used to download files simultaneously. The built-in automatic multipart posts processing removes the hassle from combining binary post parts one by one. NewsLeecher detects and combine parts by itself.

Version: NewsLeecher 2.1 Final
Pros: This really is an excellent piece of software. I'm no expert by any means, so I've been trying out many of the readers listed here. I kept returning to Newsleecher. One vital thing it does as far as I'm concerned is to show the headers loading directly from the server with colour coding for good or incomplete downloads. Not all of the readers do this which means you sit there twiddling your thumbs cos' you can't see the headers. If you're on dialup, this could be a VERY long wait!
Newsleecher has got everything just right.
Cons: None

Version: NewsLeecher 2.1 Final
"Easiest newsgroup downloader to learn and use"
Pros: It has a wonderful and easy-to-use interface.
Downloading NZB files couldn't be any easier than with this program.
Obtaining group lists and headers is a snap.
Supports multiple server setups.
Allows multiple connections on a server.
Great program logo/icon.
Cons: Its not free.
Its quite expensive.
You have to contact the developers for a new key for every new flavor of the program they develop (as in, your Version 2 key will not work with Version 3, requiring a new key which you get from contacting the developers).
Developers way too concerned with piracy associated with their programs. Every new version has a worse cdkey algorithm making the program quite undesirable.
