Usenet binary grabber: http://www.ensisoft.com (http://github.com/ensisoft/newsflash-plus) A little history. Back in the day when I started looking into Usenet there were no proper clients for Linux. There was pan but it had huge problems dealing with large volume binary groups. I figured it can't be that hard and started working on my own client which slowly evolved into the current 4th major version. Ten years in the making already :) The 3x series was the most successful with perhaps around 50-60k installs. In general the field is very competitive and there are several clients for Windows especially.
