    Default Good Newsgroup program?

    Hey guys,
    Whats a good Newsgroup/Usenet downloading program?

    I am currently using Newsbin Pro and just seeing if there's a better program out there. I have a post retention time of 24 days and I am having trouble setting it to download posts from only the past 10 days....

    Nothing I have used is superior to Newsbin.

    I use Newsbin Pro and have no problems seeing posts that are months old (as long as they are still on my server).

    Just set the number of downloaded headers in Options to like 999999999 or something and you should be fine.

    no, I want to limit my download to 10 days and NOT get all 24 days. I find that I am running out of memory when it tries to download all the posts from a big binary group like alt.binaries.dvd or something like that.

    Is the only way to do this is to limit the first download header amount?

    Preferences -> Options -> Max Record Age

    I thought max record age only controls the oldest record to retain and doesn't affect the downloading of the headers. If I click on download all headers it will still download all the headers from the past 24 days.
