Default Newsreader (usenet) scheduled downloads?

I'm currently using Grabit but I was wondering if there were any newsreaders out there that I can schedule the downloads?

Yes, they all queue, but downloads after 12 midnight don't get counted in my ISP's fair usage total - so ideally I'd like to have everything queued up but it doesn't start download until a set time.

Any ideas/suggested?

How about setting up a schedule task? Control Panel/Scheduled Tasks

'tis what i used to do with Newsleecher(old version).

I set mine to start @ midnight.

Good choice. Supersearch is worth it on it's own. Add in repair & extract and you're laughing.

Yep - took the supersearch option and even though I use Newzbin, it was a godsend to find a couple extra par files.
