Mac users: what's your favorite Usenet newsreader/binary downloader?
I use MT-Newswatcher 3.4 for all of my text reading, but I used to have problems with it crashing sometimes while downloading binaries. Also, it limits the number of articles in the article window to 100,000 at one time. I've used Thoth for downloading binaries, as it has no such limits. However, it seems to be a huge resource hog, slowing down the rest of my machine (and I'm running 10.3.whatever on a dual 1.8 GHz G5!).

So, anybody have any recommendations?
