Usenet Explorer is a news client for the Microsoft Windows operating system (also fully compatible with the Linux Wine software {{Citation needed|date=April 2011}}). It is designed to handle binary and text Usenet posts, and is capable of handling newsgroups as large as hundred million headers{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}}. A Usenet indexing service with more than 15-year retention (except for some mass encrypted obfuscated posts by nzb websites{{Cite web|title=Usenet Explorer forum|url=https://www.usenetexplorer.com/forum}}). Releases following v2.0 include automatic unpacking feature - par2 repair / unrar / joining split files without user intervention; when using integrated search or nzb file as a download source the download is presented as a single combined entry (so-called custom collection) and all the way to the ready to view or listen media files then becomes seamless and completely automatic. This simple routine makes the program valuable to novice Usenet users.

Usenet Explorer supports all existing standards for compressing headers and includes native x64 version. The program now supports single NZB files in excess of 10gb and can handle intentionally malformed posts by mushroomed NZB websites which took over the Usenet during the later years.

The program is shareware operating on an annual subscription to retain search function; posting and par2 repair (QuickPar replacement) features are free.
