Is there a particular reason why this program is not available within Suse? I currently use Newsbin for my newsly needs, but since it sometimes freezes under heavy load, i wondered if i might use Klibido, but its not there.
Of course i can compile it myself, but i was kinda shocked thats not available within Suse. So just wondering.
Hi
Not maintained by the looks of it and not KDE4 friendly perhaps?

of course it does, it is a windows program…they all bog down under load!

it looks to be an unmaintained (since 2006) KDE3 application which
probably won’t run in KDE4…(what are you running? you didn’t say)
compile it and give it a try, maybe it works great (but i doubt it)…
if not there are other “binary grabbers” available (with or without a
gui and a variety of capabilities)

Be it ever so humble, there is no place like 127.0.0.1.
Actually, i did not even thought about it. I just remembered K in front of the name and assumed that it runs anyway since it is for KDE.
I just look for a replacement perhaps, but i have no favorite really.
Newsbin is great, but i can’t run the 64bit version of it and did not play with wine at all. I mean it runs fine, but if you grab the whole content of a newsgroup, for some reason the interface of newsbin freezes. Happend to me a couple of times.
I will read your list, Denver. Thanks.
Btw. what do you use or you don’t grab things. Just curious.

i don’t grab, just use Thunderbird for technical newsgroups…
sometimes i’ll visit aviation, military or social discussions…
but, all that i do is text, and it comes quick…no need to set up a
grabber and go to sleep…

It does not build. If you want, you’re welcome to help.
Sadly, i think there is no really good usenet grabber available.
I checked
Klibido (halted)
Pan (halted)
Binbot (halted)
Then there are some textbased solution but most of them are also not maintained anymore.
Newsbin was great, but it crashes under Wine and under Windows itself. Wow.
Do we have anyone who uses any kind of grabber? I am looking for alternatives, but i like to know if it works well, before i install something like pan.
Non gabbers are available, but i really looking for a binary grabber.

Actually, no, pan is still under somewhat active development at the
moment…

do not assume that a text based solution won’t work perfectly just
because it last released a fix/update ten years ago!
i mean, once it does what is needed/intended exactly as wanted there
is no need to add unnecessary stuff/bloat/etc to prime the pump and
get the world to replace Grabber Pro 2010 with Grabber Enterprise
Ultimate Professional Plus GOLD 2011…
see how that goes?

Hi
There is kwooty which is the Klibido replacement…
kwooty
software.opensuse.org: Résultats de recherche
I will trust you on this 
Altough my attempt to install and configure textbased programs did not go well the last time. Which is way back.
I will give it a try, that for sure. But i need some time for it.
Nice, i will check that out too. Thanks for the link.
I tried Kwooty, but haven’t figured out how to get the .nzb files from the server with it.
Right now i use Pan. Since its based on GTK it works fine.
I wished KDE would be more up to date with programs that are supposedly available for KDE (4?).
Klibido is added to KDE3 repository. You can install it with 1-click install: http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/KDE:KDE3/openSUSE_11.3/klibido.ymp
Download the rpm klibido-0.2.5-53.1.x86_64.rpm from rpm.pbone.net. It will install and run under KDE 4.6 in Opensuse 11.4
Why if there is for OpenSUSE?
http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=klibido&baseproject=openSUSE%3A11.4&exclude_debug=true
doesn’t it have kde3 in its depentencies?
Right now i am using Pan which works fine. But i will check it out.
The interesting thing about Pan is that after 2.5 years there’s been an update http://git.gnome.org/browse/pan2/plain/ChangeLog
I alway liked Pan’s interface more than Klibido’s, and truth be told neither’s was that inviting
I can’t see were Klibido was worked on since 2007 (but I could be looking in the wrong places)
doesn’t it have kde3 in its depentencies?
Yes, kdelibs3.
Well for me Pan works fine.
Klibido was good too, but now i don’t want to install kde3 libs really. But good to know that there is an option still. Just in case.
