[edit] History
Ilan Shemes has been making GrabIt changes since the program has been introduced. GrabIt currently is on revision 1.7.1 Beta.
[edit] Uses
The GrabIt program is solely used to read and download binaries from usenet newsgroups.
[edit] Features
GrabIt has Yenc and NZB support and can have up to 32 simultaneous connections.
GrabIt is one of the few newsreaders to include a search function. This search function searches all of the newsgroups on the Shemes news service. This is beneficial for the user wanting to find a certain binary or article. The downside to the search is that a user can only do a fixed amount of searches without being subscribed to Shemes news service. Also the queries returned will be those listed in the Shemes service and not necessarily of the user's service.
