If you're running Windows or Linux, you have plenty of news readers to choose from. There weren't many choices for the Mac OS crowd, at least news readers that perform like alt.binz, Grabit or News Leecher. But this has changed, thanks to the development of programs like Unison, Pan, and relative newcomer, NZBVortex.

NZBVortex's status as a newcomer has been a refreshing breath of life into the otherwise quaint world of Mac OS binary news readers. What's most important is that it brings all features and options you'd expect from a Windows or Linux client to the Mac platform. Here's a rundown of the latest changes to this binary news reader:

* Revamped User Interface
* File list per NZB (resize window to make the list wider)
* NZB information visible in a separate panel
* Speed throttling improved
* A lot of RSS feed tweaks like filter on category, mark new items etc
* Up to 50% lower cpu usage on non-SSL connections
* Drag and Drop in nzb queue and in RSS window
* Show SSL status in main window
* Made download stats visible on all windows
* Make toolbar customizable
* Download speed graph added
* Overall performance and state tuning
* much more
