MegaJoin for Usenet and NZB Binaries

Agent provides a better user experience by joining related Usenet headers into a single “Mega” message that can reduce the number of messages in a binary newsgroup by a factor of 100. MegaJoin is a proprietary pattern-matching technology developed for Agent and does not require any additional 3rd party software.

Automatic Joining of RAR and Split Binaries

Agent will automatically download and join archived RAR or Split files. Now you can watch or listen to media files without any hassles.

Automatic Repair of Damaged Binaries

Agent will automatically download only the PAR files needed to repair a damaged file. You don’t have to do a thing because Agent does it all for you.

Our getting started videos will step you through all of Agent's powerful features:

Password Detection and Notification

Agent samples each media file to determine if a password is necessary to extract the content. If a media file requires a password then Agent prompts you to decide how to proceed. You can instruct Agent to always to cancel password-protected RAR downloads to avoid scams and other malicious content.
