Hi. My favorite software for Usenet newsgroups is Agent. But because I use Giganews for access to the newsgroups, their retention is more than Agent can handle in the case of some really large groups. I think Agent has a limit of 1 million headers that can be downloaded at one time.
So I was thinking about switching to another newsreader. (Also, I'm getting tired of having to compress the databases.) Any reader must be able to combine the split files and handle Yenc encoding also.
Any opinions on which newsreader is best?
Thanks.

No particular opinion, but you could try XNews.
Or else, take a look here
