Usenet Client	Description	Works on
Newshosting Usenet Browser	Newshosting's client has a complete and unique feature set. It's file preview makes things easy and helps you instantly see what the download is about before it even starts. With it's clean interface the integrated search helps you find files quickly thanks to the advanced filter. It features automatic repair and decompression. In case you don't use a premium Usenet provider or just need a better one, Newshosting is your best bet. For a limited time they offer unlimited speed and download quota with 60% reduction on the regular ($16/month) price.	Linux Windows Mac OS X
LottaNZB	Clean and simple front-end GUI for Sabnzbd. If you want more control just use the web-interface. Please note that it's not compatible with the latest version of Sabnzbd.	Linux
Binreader	Efficient and lightweight, comparable to LottaNZB. Simple and easy to use.	Linux Windows Mac OS X
NNTPGrab	Offers a bit more from the GUI over LottaNZB but falls short on the way it handles Usenet downloads which makes it not so efficient.	Linux Windows Mac OS X
Newsflash Plus	Similar to Newshosting but without file preview functionality. If search is important to you, this is your second best choice.	Linux Windows
