This is a KILLER feature, but what is not obvious until you start
using the program is that it's enabled on a trial basis for a
specified number of headers. After that, you have to subscribe to
GrabIt servers for a monthly fee in order for it to work.

Still, if you know what you're looking for and use a free site like
http://www.yabse.com/ to create .NZB files that GrabIt WILL import,
you can still get around downloading ALL headers from a monster group
like alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.complete_cd. Even a few days worth will
usually run into the tens of thousands.
