Default News reader recommendations

A couple months ago my news provider, NewsGuy, changed the way they number the articles. Since then my news reader, Agent 6.0
has been very slow in retrieving new headers.

NewsGuy support says I should be getting headers as fast as I was before their change. Agent support says as long as I have
certain settings set the way I do then it isn't Agent's fault.

So the only way to sort this out is to try a different news reader. What recommendations do you have?


I use Agent on my main computer, but Mozilla Thunderbird Portable on a
stick to carry to work or other computers. I like it a lot. My news
provider is Giganews for $3 a month. They have been reliable.
