I use Unison for my usenet needs.

does this use nzb files?

I use igrabnews and am very content with it. It is a NZB complient and free newsgrabber. It can even automatically run the PAR/PAR2 command. It comes highly recommended!

Just google for it.

Later.

Unison has NZB support and I use MacPAR Deluxe to verify/repair and then it will automatically unRAR files for you when it's done verifying/repairing. Do note that Unison isn't free though.

Hogwasher is another option.

I've tried all the programs above and settled on iGrabnews. Just seemed to be the most stable and consistent for me.
