Version 4.6 of Usenet Explorer has been released. With this program files from usenet can be downloaded. Usenet Explorer is characterized by low processor and memory usage, and very extensive options, which may make it less suitable for novice users. Version 3.6 was released only recently, but 4.0 has been worked on in parallel for much longer. In version 4.0, memory usage has been further reduced, the program loads newsgroups faster and more message IDs can be stored. The changelog for version 4.6 looks like this:

Usenet Explorer 4.6

  • Added selectable nzb drop folder option (edit menu->properties->search/import, nzb files, import folder)
  • Full, customizable RAR 5 format support (edit menu->properties->save/unpack, unrar). RAR 5 format allows multicore unrar and larger dictionaries up to 4GB. So the options are multicore unrar and limiting unrar memory usage, it is recommended to limit unrar memory usage for 32 bit version or if your computer has less than 8GB RAM, both options are enabled by default.
  • The progress of unrar of individual files is now shown as well.
  • Added search service fault tolerance by removing third party dynamic dns references from the code; also in case dynamic dns service goes down completely UE will now try to update search service configuration instead of just returning error, past versions only handled partial failures.
  • Fixed a website glitch, when v4.x versions didn’t check for updates even if check for updates was enabled.
