Download GrabIt 1.6.1 beta build 936

Ilan Shemes has released a new beta release of GrabIT. This program is able to download files from newsgroups. Files that are split into several small files are automatically merged into the original file. GrabIT is free to use, but only registered users have unlimited access to the GrabIt Usenet Search and GrabIt Usenet Browser, with more search results and a longer history. The changelog of this release shows the following changes:

Here is a list of changes since build 1.6.0:

• The download thread checkboxes are back with a vengeance (32 of them!);
• A new option in the configuration screen makes it possible to choose if GrabIt needs to change groups before downloading articles (makes it possible to download articles from groups that are not on your server);
• Fixed the problem that would freeze the batch tab after trying to remove a column;
• Increased the maximum amount of browseable days to 30;
• Fixed the progress bar for group updates;
• Fixed the download speed graph so it no longer drops to 0KB/s and then jumps to twice the actual download speed on slow connections;
• Fixed the missing files bug;
• Changed some of the fonts to true type fonts to help people with irregular font settings;
• Fixed the flickering in the batch tab while the batch was paused;
• Maximum amount of connections in the server properties can now be set to 0.
