Grabit

[didikai]

Is there a free alternative to Grabit.
I, along with many others have had Grabit freeze on me.
I just want a simple program like Grabit without all the bells and whistles.

old versions of alt.binz: http://www.altbinz.net/ (newer versions cost one time a few bugs)

are probably the most known free alternatives to GrabIt, if you want more google for free usenet clients,..

Are there any Grabit users who have fixed the freezing problem. I have checked with Google but get lots of different remedies. I think the general view is that it is a problem with Avast and Grabit. I'd like to fix this as it is a great little program

I didn't have a freeze problem with Avast, but I couldn't get Grabit to work with SSL with Avast installed. Became to agrivating so I installed AVG. End of problem.
