Thoth1.9.1.2

Ya know I had used Thoth for a while, not to pirate but to actually take place in conversations and share ideas. It can happen. But then one day I got a taste of the author's bad attitude and god complex. Really I paid for the application and asked for a ground level of support, nothing lofty- and he snapped at me. You know what, I don't need that from anyone. And so today I find myself fondly remember the application for what it was and still might be, a solid and good newsgroup client. But beyond that I refuse to try it again as long as the original author is tied to it. I'll take my money somewhere else where customer service is as important as the quality of code. My review of the author is not the same as my opinion of the software.

I was friends with Brian Clark for 15 years. I was also the initial beta tester for Thoth and for his other Mac application, Ptah. Clark was very intelligent. He had Master’s Degrees in both physics and electrical engineering. Two subjects that the average student could never learn. The last email from him was Dec. 31, 2013. It said: "Goodbye and good luck." That was the last I ever heard of him. He lives now, only in my memories.

Well finally Thoth is no more.The final chapter in this story has been written.The app does not respond to my user name which i know like the back of my hand.Since the user name doesn't respond It looks like THOTH has given up the ghost and left town. it was great while it lasted.

Sad. I know the feeling full well of trying to charge money for something that people have been basically ripping off from usenet for years. Some people come up with a product that beats the rest however they just don't have the time, money or a room of employees to help them run it. Hopefully the creator will win the lottery or something and maybe put this app back into play. It's definitely better than others of it's type.

So how does one actually get a registration, especially, when you cannot purchase one via the website...

I now have the latest version of Thoth whiz is 1.9.1.0.I have read all the really rotten comments about this developer and I have to state that EVERYONE has bad days and the posters might have got this Developer in a bad moment. Brian is a very nice guy. I have used his app also as the user preceding me for 10 years and as I stated before it is a very MAC-LIKE news Reader. It has features that no other news rear has.It has a CATALOG for the pictures you gather to save on your hard drive that UNISON doesn't have. With the DEMISE of MTNewsreader on Mavericks (it still works on SnowLeopard and Leopard) This app is the ONLY newsreader for usenet available for Mavericks other than Unison. It is simple to purchase it you just have to write the Brian and ask to purchase it.Since Hogwasher went down this app is the only one for a Mac experience.

There is no way to pay for this application any more.

Thoth was my first 'real' GUI newsreader when I came over to Macs many years ago. I loved it then, and I have to say that I'm really glad to see it resurrected. There are lots of choices now, but for good filtering and threading it was hard to beat Thoth. I'm glad to see it's gone Intel now too!

Excellent News Reader in every way. Vey Mac-Like in design. The GUI is excellent and it supports SSH.

Apparently Hell has frozen over, Thoth now supports Intel Macs. Of course in doing so PPC support was dropped rather than making a UB…

1.8.5 will probably not work in 10.7 Lion as Rosetta won't be included or supported. Those who bothered to register 1.8.5 or re-register "after 10 years of always free upgrades" have received an offer for a free upgrade to 1.9, which should work fine in Lion. Included with it is NZB support, screaming fast filtering and a dozen other improvements. 1.9 is not being offered by any other method. Much hatred and outright ill-informed opinions expressed by reviewers below is the reason for this state of affairs. Simply put, not enough registrations have taken place to support continued development of the product and not enough interest has been shown by users for version 2. Nevertheless Brian has rewarded loyal users who believe in fair payment for fair usage by updating Thoth for 10.7. Support under Lion however will be limited. The website is currently in hibernation. Users who wish to get 1.9 can only do so via an email with a request to register 1.8.5. They should receive an offer for a free upgrade to 1.9 shortly after. Those who registered 1.8.5 and received a refund can only try again (those who refused the refund got a link to 1.9). 1.9 and 1.8.5 are classic newsreaders - i.e., for those with an interest that goes beyond mere leeching of binaries. Both work very well.

Holy cow! Is this this dog still around? Is someone giving it CPR, pumping it full of IV fluids, or what? Version 1.8.5 point freakin' 2? When is version 2.0 going to see the light of day? Does anyone still check newsgroups? This is 2011 folks, Usenet is dead!

My thread 'counts' now truncate/split at 100. So previous threads with 160 parts would show as 160, whereas now there are two threads with the same title, one with 100 parts and one with 60. This stops the automatic binary download from working as it sees both threads as incomplete (one has 100 of 160, the other has 60 of 160).

Put some real work into this, or let it die. PPC-only in 2010? Get real.

Just wanted to note that this version (1.8.4) is for sale, and not just an update for already registered users. The developer has a Paypal link on his site and he will send you a registration once you pay. I have wanted to buy this program for ages and am glad I finally have been able to do so, because it really is the best newsreader out there on any platform, bar none.

Is this .hqx file corrupted? I've downloaded this update from all three locations. When Stuffit Expander processes the file, it produces nothing.

Read the web site, Thoth is dead and development has stopped because not enough people spoke up with their wallets.

This was my favorite newsreader when I was using classic now it's back. I hope it stays this way.
