  1. Review - News Rover

    9.0 (Apr 3, 2005)

    I've used NewRover for three years. Each version gets better. It automaticly handles yenc, nzb and pars & rars well. I also assembles multiple part messages done with things like HJ Split. The total feature set is impressive.

    Other newsreaders seem quite primitive by comparison.

    The best feature is Auto Scan Intrest Groups. Each of these groups that you configure can automaticlly scan whatever combination of newsgroups you desire for whatever strings you select. Automatic save attachment to file of your choice.

    You do have to be careful with the number of messages in the que. More than 5000 usually crashes the program. Your cpu usage will soar to 100% and you'll have to do a hard close though the process manager. It seems like a hard limit within the program...4999 seems fine. I have a high performance computer with gobs of ram so its not on my end.

    Otherwize...highly recommended.
