Version: Ozum 3.11 build 1185
"Take this for what it's worth; I've barely begun to use the trial"
Pros: Not entirely sure as I've just begun to use the 30day trial. One claimed advantage is that user need not download the entire available list of headers, which can be millions. Trying to download these (just headers, not their attachments) can stress a weak PC to the point of crashing, or at least v. slow operations.
Cons: Well, Ozum trumpeted the ability to preview individual fragments of large files posted to help user decide if a file is likely to be what s/he wanted. But it CANNOT do this if the files are .rar format (and other formats). Well, I don't know many split files that ARE NOT in .rar format. Here's exactly what Ozum's Help text says under "3.5":
"The following formats are currently supported: AVI, ASF, MPG/MPEG and RM--for video and WAV and MP3--for audio files. We currently are unable to show previews of files that have been first compressed; in zip, rar or any other format; and then posted."
Well, I would have thought MOST newsreaders can do that. As I say take this review for what its worth; check for yourself. I'm no expert.
