Usenet Explorer is a news client for the Microsoft Windows operating system. It is designed to handle binary and text Usenet posts and capable of handling large newsgroups effectively. The access to the in-house Usenet indexing search service with more than 14-year retention is provided with the option to browse indexed newsgroups. The program has automatic unpacking feature - par2 repair / unrar / un7z / unzip / joining split files with the ability to perform several unpacking tasks in parallel and even unraring files while downloading them (incremental unrar). When using integrated search or nzb file as a download source the download is presented as a single combined entry (so-called custom collection) and all the way to the ready to view or listen media files then becomes seamless and completely automatic. This simple routine makes the program valuable to novice Usenet users.
