After Comcast dropped the free news I went with Agent Premium Newsgroups over at Forteinc.com. Unlimited downloads, 10 day retention for $14.99. Anybody know of a GOOD service with a better price? (Although I'm happy to pass my business over to Forte Inc. I've been a user of Agent since '94.)
I've been using newsgroups almost as long as you have, and used Agent exclusively for almost 7-8 years. Then I discovered Newsleecher and never looked back. I can finally load groups with millions of headers with no problems. Took me a month to get used to it but I can't imagine how I was able to use Agent for so long considering how much I download. Definitely check it out if you use the binary newsgroups.
As a plain text/message reader though, Newsleecher is sadly lacking.
