User Reviews

  • HelloNzb is apparently the most desired Usenet client if you need portable app without installation. It requires Java, yes, but it pays that it works right out of the box on Windows and Linux.
  • Excellent work on this. I never expected to have such a hard time finding a good desktop usenet client when I switched to Linux (I don't like browser-based clients). Very thankful to have this. It works great
  • Excellent for manual downloading binaries!
  • This software is: - easy - light - effective - portable So I rate it 5 stars.
