Unison is a newsgroup (Usenet) browser for the Mac. It allows you to connect to Usenet servers and browse different directories and groups and find and download files.
To use Unison, you need a Usenet server. There are tons of providers out there. You can get server access from Unison, as well. They sell access for $9 a month. What is great about Unison is that you get a free, no-credit-card required, 24-hour trial with them to test the application. You can connect to their servers and retrieve Usenet directories and groups and even download binaries.
Unison shows a directory with a few topics. You can click on any of those to start a search on your servers. Or you can choose to browse all the groups, like you would in any Usenet client.
This client also has a search feature, which uses a third-party indexing website to let you find files more easily. It works great and it lets you add files to your download queue in just a few clicks.
