Best newsreader for Mac

As you can see I use Newsreader.com. I've always been happy with them. But
lately   all downloads have slowed to less than 300 kbps. Today in fact
just over 100 kbps. But, only with this newsreader. When I download
updates
from Apple or something from Tucows etc average is 1.2 to 1.4 mbps.

Can you recomend a Newsreader? One of he things  I like about
Newsreader.com is that all you need to use it is a browser. Any settings
are few and simple.

When I e-mailed them, they advised problems with one of their routers on
one of their servers. Nothing since.

I've looked at some newsreaders and also download managers and most (IMO)
just have too many options that I don't understand and most likely don't
need.

 Leopard 10.5.2
 MacBook, 3 gigs ram,Intel CPU 2.16 ghz Core 2 Duo

 Any suggestions?

  FWIW I never had one problem with Tiger, just since I upgraded to
  Leopard.
