What are you using now? I hope you're not using OE.. that's a
nightmare to use for newsgroups. The retail version of Agent is better
than the free version, but I use Free Agent at work and for a free
program I think it's also extremely good. You do have to get used to
all the options a bit though.

The server is very bandwidth limited, so save it to your HD rather than
streaming it

I agree with you though, when I stopped using Netscape for surfing, I
looked into using OE for mail and news, and although I think it's a
decent mail program, for my use, it's next to useless for news
groups.....either that or I'm too dumb to figure it out :-), so I've
kept Netscape for mail and news (hate using different progs), which also
saves me from from these worm viruses as well :-)

At work I'm using Outlook 2000, and seriously, that's a wonderfull
piece of software. Unfortunately it takes a lot of work to make
Outlook more or less virus-resistant :-/
So at home I use IE 6 for browsing, Agent for newsgroups and Eudora
for email (not that Eudora is so special - but I've been using it
since the first release so it's more out of tradition :)

A newsreader that is really great for downloading many and/or large
binary files from usenet is Grabit. You can have multiple downloads
with Grabit, something you can't do with Agent afaik. Get it from
www.cnet.com, it's free.

And it's not your dumbness - OE is really a piece of ***to use for
newsgroups :)
