NewzScape

The Binary Newsgroup Downloader

Screenshot

In the screenshot below, you can see NewzScape (which looks identical on the Mac) running with 3 Downloader windows. The two smaller Downloaders at the top are running in "blade" mode, where they take up less space.

Each Downloader can have any number of newsgroups that it will download from. You can have as many Downloaders as you want, though you can only run one for each server connection that your ISP allows.

The lower bar shows the progress on the current post being downloaded. The upper bar shows the progress through the group. If you mouse-over the upper bar, the program will show you the percentage, which you can see at the lower-right of the screenshot.
