Hello, well i did not use all that many usenet clients on windows because of the simple reason that hal is a crappypiece of software and didnt want to play nice with many of them. But i dud use newsreactor which only cost 10 euro and was made by a Dutch guy and it did all the stuff automatically. And I know grabit does too as does the free (free so not 24 dollar) sabnzbd+, which has a mac version but I could not get it to work. I am going to mail unison support about the accessibility issues I am having, i wont hold my breath though... Greetings, Anouk On Nov 16, 2009, at 10:17 PM, erik burggraaf wrote:
