Unison - new Mac OS X Usenet newsreader from Panic

just trying this out, so far this program looks great.

the only program i miss from my windows days was newsbin pro. i have been using pan under X11, but that is very un-mac like.
 
Yep.
Some features I've found nice and helpful:

Apple + K (Go to group), their predifined groups aren't nearly what's out there.

They gather files for you! Remember on other news readers they had 300/400 301/400 302/400 - NOT ANYMORE!

On initial setup of the nntp server, they check and verify the address is an actual server before you can enter authentication! That's a kickass feature, and saves time, tons of it.

Seperate Download Manager (Window> Downloads) is very nice, compared to some programs with "all in one interface" that really sucks.
 
cool app. I want to try it out, can anyone recommend free news servers? My ISP news servers suck.
 
Secret link to check the statistics for the RFN network. Only you are special enough to see this link. Don't hand it out to others! Thissecret link really is a secret. No one knows! Mad CGI scripting makes it only seen by YOU and not anyone else.

Suuuure 🙄
 
It's shareware. I haven't tried it yet, but I assume it starts limiting sessions/features after a set number of days if you don't pay. Transmit from the same company begins limiting the amount of time you can be connected to a server, 15 days after first use. Of course deleting the plist works but $25 isn't much to pay for such a great program.
