Which newsreader should I use?
A newsreader is the program that connects to our servers and downloads posts for you. Here are some popular choices:
- GrabIt (Windows): included free with every Fast Usenet plan, with built-in Usenet search. Download it from the members area: open the Newsreaders menu and choose GrabIt.
- SABnzbd and NZBGet (Windows, Mac and Linux): free programs that download NZB files automatically, then repair and unpack them for you.
- Newsbin Pro and NewsLeecher (Windows): full-featured newsreaders for browsing and downloading.
- Pan (Linux): a free newsreader for browsing and downloading.
- Thunderbird (Windows and Mac): a good choice for reading and joining text discussions.
Step-by-step setup guides are on our tutorials page. In the members area, the Newsreaders menu also lists them under All Newsreaders.
If you have any questions, please contact our support team. We're happy to help.
