DON'T BUY THIS - DOESN'T WORK, NO SUPPORT!!!
- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- The manufacturer WILL NOT give support or give refunds for this piece of crapware. The software locks up when a large amount of headers are downloaded. To exit you have to end the task. You have to delete the buffer file to get it to run again. I've complained and complained. I got no help or a refund.

All ive ever used
- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- I have used this product for years, its simple to use, not too many confussing options. I dont know why that guy called it slow, he must have a slow news server, i use easynews, and always max out my connection, and i probably download more than most people.
- Pros

- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- I used the freeware for 2-3 months before buying the program. For my purpose of mp3 downloads from multiple newsgroups, it runs great. I am running it on Win 95/98 OS loaded on PII and PIII machines.
Use it in combination with GrabIt!
- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- GrabIt certainly is by far the fastest of the two: it allows for upto 8 threads whereas Newsshark is single-threaded. But the main disadvantage of GrabIt is (when you want to download from, say, 30-or-so .mp3 newsgroups; as I do:) )that you cannot get a combined view of articles in multiple groups. MewsShark can, although not as easy as in previous versions: in 2.0 you use the following trick: after a full update perform a 'Find' on a single dot. Then, after selecting your downloads, you still can decide to use GrabIt for some distinct newsgroups. Have Fun!
