Usenet readers/binary downloaders for linux

[Joe]

I was using hellanzb for a while when I was doing binary downloads via
nzb files. It's not a GUI though, but it was easy to configure and
worked incredibly well! I was using a GUI reader to grab the nzb files,
but I don't remember which one it was. Looked like xpn but I don't know
if that was it. Thunderbird would probably work just as well though.
