GrabIt version 2.0 will be the first GrabIt release to support Mac OSX. A welcomed addition for Mac Usenet fans. The developer of GrabIt newsreader was hoping to release version 2.0 in early April but had to delay for a few months. As a complication arose that will require recoding most of the GrabIt 2.0 user interface.
In the meantime a new version of GrabIt 1.7.2 beta 4 will be released to address some bug fixes. We downloaded the latest GrabIt beta and took it for a test drive. Version 1.7.2 is alright but lacks features compared to the latest versions of other top newsreaders like Newsleecher, Newsbin Pro and SABnzbd.
We look forward to the GrabIt version 2 release in the months ahead. We’ll keep an eye out and let you know once the new Mac compatible version is out. GrabIt 1.7.2 is free to download. With GrabIt Usenet search and newsgroup access available for a fee. Visit their sign up page for more details.
