I know about Unison. Are there any decent free usenet readers for Mac OS X Leopard?
Newsreaders are software programs that are required to read and post to Usenet newsgroup forums. RSS Readers--also know as 'feed readers ' or 'aggregators '--compile data from multiple.

Mozilla Thunderbird does a decent job with usenet.

You can get the standard *nix ones via Fink or MacPorts. I'm partial to slrn, but that's a console app. If you prefer a gui, there's Pan. I've used it on Linux, and it was good. I can't speak to how well it works in OS X. (The Pan webpage mentions OS X as supported, so that's a good start.) Enolsoft wps reader for mac.
If you are comfortable tracking down dependencies and compiling, you can also build these on a Mac without Fink or MacPorts, but the package managers make upgrades and removal a lot easier.

If you're after binary Sony reader for mac download. newsreader (i.e., you just want a tool to aggregate and reassemble binary postings), you might want to take a look at ninan - since its web/java based it should be pretty platform agnostic.

I second Pan (install via MacPorts).Thunderbird (v3.0.1) becomes painfully slow and often crashes with larger lists.Another option (though limited in the number of headers it will download) is: MT-Newswatcher http://www.smfr.org/mtnw/

I should go for NZBin
NZBin is a free Usenet client for the Mac OS X with a great GUI and has all features included (auto repairing, extracting, etc.). And it is the fastest client I've ever seen.

Diiva
Current Version: 1.0.3b3
Usenet Reader For Linux
Diiva is a specialized newsreader that works in conjunction with Diiva's $5.00/month image preview and categorization service. Simply speaking, Diiva is a proprietary client that works in conjunction with the company's proprietary servers to help Usenet picture junkies quickly preview and find the pictures they are looking for. Available only for Power Macs running Mac OS 8.0 and later, it's distributed as shareware and costs $35. Version 1.0.2 adds/changes the following:
Free Mobi Reader For Mac
- Much improved stability -- numerous crashing bugs fixed.
- Improved compatibility with a wider range of news servers.
- Added the ability to reset the group access counts.
- Fixed incompatibility with aggressive transparent proxy servers.
- Improved error reporting.
- Lots of smaller fixes.
User Reviews
'Diiva is a nice program for weeding through the thousands of GIFs and JPEGs that are posted online daily, but it's not without its quirks and shortcomings. For $5.00 a month, you can subscribe to Diiva's preview server, which creates thumbnail previews of most of the files that are posted to the binary graphics newsgroups; Diiva then displays those previews on your screen. Frequently, however, many pics display 'Preview Not Available' instead of a thumbnail; just as frequently, the wrong thumbnail is displayed for some pictures. Also, there is no ability to mark a picture, thread or newsgroup as being read; nor are crossposts marked as already read (or viewed). This leads to a lot of 'I've already seen these previews!' Still, Diiva is better than downloading hundreds or thousands of pictures and sifting through them to find something good. The previews let you download only the pictures whose thumbnail preview looks interesting. It's a good program that needs some work and feature additions/enhancements, particularly the ability to mark posts & groups as read (or in this case, viewed).'

'Diiva fills a great need for Mac users who download images from the usenet. Instead of the laborious process of downloading an image at a time, and then having to delete the ones you don't want, Diiva gives preview images, so you only download what you want, or else you can tell it to download all images in all your favourite newsgroups, while you're having lunch, then delete the unwanted ones with a single click. Secure zip reader for mac. It saves a huge amount of work for me. It's so intuitive I only had to click it open and it set itself up, without any human configuration needed!'

'Buyer beware, this company does not reply to emails, the application does not work with my ISP and your credit card will be billed recurring monthly charges to get the alleged full feature set. Stick with your free newsreaders or Baker; this developer gives shareware a bad name.'
