This this this, a million times this.
Sabnzbd is the ONLY download client you should use, it's so simple and does everything for you. Just download an nzb into a folder (or use the RSS support to do it for you) and it'll download everything, check it, repair it if needed, unrar it, delete the rars and any other files you tell it you don't want (like .nfo's, .sfv's, etc), and if it's a TV show automatically move it to where ever you want in what ever structure you want.
I don't see the point in spending money on a monthly sub to a newsgroup when the VM provided ones (highwinds) will max out 20meg and are perfectly fine for downloading anything newly released. I just have VM set up as my main server, with a pay-per-download astraweb sub as a fill server. It takes me months to use up the 180gb on the astraweb sub.
