I bought Agent many years ago for about the price of a good bottle of
whiskey and never looked back. Sometimes it is worthwhile having a
licensed copy of a commercial product. If for nothing else, you are
supporting the guy who wrote it. You can also get support when you
have a problem. I got a free upgrade when yenc files showed up.

I have a licensed copy of Agent, albeit a version a few years old. I
don't like it now, and I didn't like it then. I am more than happy with
Thunderbird for email and newsgroups.
The thing I like about Agent is it is not "installed". You just run it
from the EXE and it would probably run from a CD if you assigned
working areas on oxide.
I can load my agent directory on another machine, run it and then just
delete the directory and it is gone. I keep two iinstances on this
machine, one for binaries and one for text.

I don't download or upload binaries.

I use portable Firefox and portable Thunderbird from a USB key.

I know this will come as a shock, Harry, but everything you have on your
computer, and every post or webpage you see or create on the internet... ALL
binaries.

D'oh. You must know we're referring to photo, music, and movie
multi-part binaries, right?
