Unzbin Review
If you like Usenet but have felt that Usenet is either too complicated or you have felt like spending the money on a good newsreader and especially if you like utorrent client and wish there was something similar for Usenet, then you are in luck. Unzbin to the rescue!
Unzbin promises to potentially revolutionize Usenet downloading. The Unzbin client focuses on one thing and one thing only and does it very well — NZB file downloading and processing and best of all its free. Even if you have already paid for a Usenet client , you might still enjoy unzbin. Unzbin is light years ahead of grabit and alt.binz in our opinion.
Unzbin is VERY similar to the utorrent client which as a former programmer, I find a coding masterpiece. These guys a Unzbin have done their job well – the Unzbin client is lightweight, easy to use and appear to be continuously improved. I have had it running for a few days and already noticed an update.
Pricing
Unzbin is free !! Definitely check our their software even if you already have a preference for newsbin or newsleecher you might find you like Unzbin.
Usenet Search
Unzbin does not offer a Usenet search function. As mentioned, they focus on one thing and do it very well.
NZB Support
Unzbin supports the NZB format 100%. Their client is written specifically to support NZB file downloading and extraction.
Platform Information
Newsbin is windows only and based on the Dot Net platform. No word yet of a mac or linux version.
Conclusion
Run and don’t walk to download Unzbin. Its up there with Newsbin and Newsleecher in terms of Nzb file download and extraction of NZB capability

ive been trying this software for around 4 days now and ive downloaded around 2 items.
However everything i have downloaded has been broken and quickpar reports it needs xxx more blocks.
This has happened with EVERY download Ive made.
I went into forte agent and tried downloading the same files and they downloaded fine with no missing blocks.
so its a nice compact prog but unfortunately, totally useless
Hmm I never had that happen to me .. I used to use it all the time but I havent in the last few weeks.
If you are going to make the investment in Usenet then you might want to buy a Newsbin – just a one time free, Newsleecher $3/month
I havent used forte agent although that used to be the best program like 8 years ago but was replaced by Newsbin and Newsleecher..
Anyways Unbin is free — another free and very popular one is http://usenetreviewz.com/sabnzbd-review/
Funny Bob. I have used this program to download hundreds of files. While some did say there was an error, I was able fix most of those manually. I downloaded 96 files yesterday ranging from 14 mb to 19 gb and only 1 failed. So you can use your 8-year-old program and I’ll use my up to date one.
