What do you want to download, text or binaries?

If text, Free Agent is the best (IMNSHO).
If binaries, Free Agent is OK but Grabit is better.

Personally I use fully paid up Agent for text and Newsbin Pro for
binaries.

i think there's a windows version, the linux one is really usefull but you
would probably need to run the CVS version with very large binary groups.
