I'm not really sure how well it works yet, just today turned a real account over to slrnpull as main feed. I guess I'll know in a few days. > > It works for me, maybe not for you.

I don't think it would be much fun to do lots of experimenting in group selection and so forth with. My usage has narrowed down to some 30 groups that I always want to have on hand. So their isn't much tinkering with different groups and such. It has a config file where you list the groups you want by hand and it gets them. Treats it like a newsrc list but not really interactive. I may try leafnode once I see what all slrnpull can do.
