Usenet Reader and downloader

Tue Nov 20, 2012 10:09 pm

Hi
What options do I have for Usenet reading and downloading? From searches I see people mention nzbget which looks to be command line based and I assume meant for downloading rather than reading and also SABNZBD which i think is just a downloader? Anything out there that does both that is GUI based.

Pan worked for me. I have no idea how it handles binaries as I only used it for text reading.

sudo apt-get install pan should do the job on raspbian.

Thanks that is exactly what i was looking for. I got a chance to download one file and read a few messages last night and it worked perfectly.
