A News Reader with a familiar P2P syle interface

Pros: The only way I'd want to use this program is with a NBZ file indexing site. I used nfonews with Grabit and they worked great together. I clicked the files from my nfonews Grabit started downloading them nearly instantly. There was no need do download a huge amount of headers like Xnews. That's a big plus if you are pulling from a group with a lot of headers.

Grabit is set up very much like P2P or Bit Torrent software. It puts all the headers in a queue and downloads them in order. Also it always shows at what speed you are downloading. In all it's a pretty user friendly interface.

Cons: You can't really browse groups like traditional readers. You can't see pictures without downloading them first. This program is best used for downloading large files like movies.
