NewsLeecher 5.0 / 5.2 Beta 1 description
NewsLeecher is the kind of tool you simply can't live without. It is a Usenet downloading application that allows you to download software, image, audio and video files in a few elementary steps.
Amongst its most cherished features we count the download manager / scheduler, PAR2 (parity archive volume set) support, automatic RAR extraction, SSL support and multiple simultaneous connections.
The user interface may seem complicated at first glance, so make sure to check the online forum first, in order to learn how it works. There are also a lot of tutorials available on the Internet, if you ever get lost in its functions.
Usage is not rocket science: first you need to set up a server, and then connect to it. Searching is done extremely fast, thanks to SuperSearch Service. The time it takes to download a file depends on size, number of leechers, and other factors, but it is generally fast.
NewsLeecher supports NZB files and multiple servers. It is possible to pause all active downloads by making just one click, and the application can be minimized to system tray. In addition, the software can automatically check, repair and extract any files you have downloaded.
NewsLeecher uses a high amount of CPU and memory during the downloading process, so don't expect it to be kind to your computer.
The fact of the matter is that NewsLeecher has developed an impressive fan base, and it’s got good chances of surviving its competitors. If we have caught your attention, then perhaps you should give it a try.
Limitations:
· 14 days trial
· Nag screen
What's New in This Release:
· Re-designed the "Settings -> Group Browsing" dialog. Added a setting that specifies the maximum number of days of headers that NewsLeecher should receive on initial group updates. ( removed a few, now, redundant settings from the dialog )
· Fixed serious and long standing bug, that sometimes ( rarely though ) caused buffer overruns and data corruptions, when native NNTP data compression was activated.
· Fixed recently introduced bug, where leeched articles were re-added to the queue after app. re-launch, if group cleaning was performed just before NewsLeecher was previously closed.
It is now possible to limit the group header fetching to a specific number of days. This can be by:
· Right clicking a subscribed group in the subscribed groups view
· Activate 'Update Groups' menu item in the popup menu.
· Select sub menu : "Selected : Get Latest [####] Days".
· Enter number of days, and confirm.
