Didn’t come across any posts regarding these so I thought I’d point you all to them, if they have been covered, sorry for the spam 
Newspro (no homepage but every major shareware site has it) - a multiserver news reader file retriever thing, shitload of options but way too complicated for me also crashes a lot and eats resources like crazy
NewsReactor (www.daansystems.com/newsreactor) - dutch! multiserver newsreader/file retriever, way simple, way efficient although somewhat limited in options
Go check them out if you don’t know these
edited subject, it’s not file sharing tools but newsgroup things
