I'll check out Newsrover. I've used Xnews so many years and like its
action of only using one port per newsgroup for downloading, leaving the
other ports for me to use while it's downloading. Some of the news
clients open as many ports, simultaneously, as they can get to increase
the throughput, but I don't like that as I can't open text groups while
the downloading continues.

Of course, if they have to PAY for Newsrover, most internetters will
balk, even if it's $10 for life....(c;

Normally I would agree with you on RAR's and PAR's with a newbie but when
the program does both with two mouse clicks even I can do it.

They do have a "free for 30 days in demonstration mode" whatever a
"demonstration mode" is?
