I use PAN. However, I haven't had a lot of success if you want to read large newsgroups (ie. binary groups with millions of entries). If you want it for text, pan should work fine. If you want to get binaries, it's better to find a service such as newzbin.com that will generate .nzb files and use a command line (nzbget is what I use) app to retrieve them.

I use nzbperl, it's great! It automatically scans a certain folder for nzb files, and automatically starts downloading if it finds one. I put up a page to uplaod files (apache), and nzbperl checks this folder for nzb files. So now I can download all my series and movies from wherever I am! It runs in daemon mode. But it also has an interface should you desire so.
You need Perl to run it. Just google nzbperl!
