I think Pan is better than either of those for dealing with binaries at 
this point.  For reading text groups Agent still has the edge in my book 
because of the ease with which you can mark articles as "kept" (not to be 
deleted from the cache) and every group has its own cache so your text 
messages don't get wasted the next time you pull a music video down or 
something.

But I haven't actually run Agent in about 6 months because for the amount 
of text group reading I do it's silly to keep a separate news reader 
installed (much less one that works as slowly as Agent sometimes does 
whether under Wine or not.)
