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.

Pros
Probably the best binary downloader there is. Four stars for the product, 0 stars for the developer.
Cons
The developer. FFS, he's notorious for being absent, sometimes for months at a time. Issues will get resolved, eventually, but be prepared to wait and get frustrated. It's a pity he runs the shops because in someone else's hands it would be run quite a bit better than it is now.
Summary
Good but frustrating ownership. Still worth it though.
