Easynews is the best. 10$ a month and they have an incredible web interface where you can query for anything you want with an insane number of filters such as date range, size, type (audio, video, etc), etc. Newsgroups SUCK if you don't have something filtering one thing you want and giving it to you in one lump file. With standard NNTP access you have to peruse through tens, or hundreds of thousands of posts and, if you find what you want, it is probably 200 different rar files, yencoded and they will be riddled through 800 other posts. So then you have to try to download all 200, then you have to ydecode them or whatever, then unrar them. It's insanely difficult. Some newsgroup readers make it SLIGHTLY easier but it's still a huge pain. With easynews I may do something like search for "SomeMovieName" and check 'video' type and whola. There it is. I just right click and choose save as and the final mkv or avi (or whatever it is) comes down. If there is a way as easy as easynews and cheaper I'll bite. I signed up for this for 1$, just downloaded Forte, which I haven't used in like 7 years, and it's everything I remembered; a huge pain in the ass. Back to easynews. JeffMD is right.
