If you make heavy use of newsgroups than this is for you. You can mark messages for bulk download to read off-line, you can start multiple downloads at once and it'll stitch together attachments that have been split across multiple messages.

Free Agent can also create an intelligent database of headers, enabling you to select just what you're interested in. It'll even follow the logic of disjointed threads. You can download a selection of headers from any group without subscribing and it's all fully configurable.

There are two versions and Free Agent, and as you might have guessed, this one is the completely free one.
