Download NZBGet 19.1
Version 19.1 of NZBGet has been released as a successor to the recently released version 19.0. With this program files from usenet can be downloaded. The program is similar to SABnzbd. Among other things, it can automatically repair files with par files and has a built-in web interface. The open source application is available for Windows, macOS, Linux and various NAS models. The most important improvements that have been made since version 18.0 are listed below for you.
Changes in NZBGet version 19.1:
- Proper handling of changing category (and destination path) during direct unpack; direct unpack now gracefully aborts with cleanup; the files will be unpacked during post-processing stage (#408);
- Fixed: password protected downloads of certain kind may sometimes end up with no files if direct unpack was active (#405);
- Fixed: rar-renamer mistakenly renamed some encrypted rar3 files causing unnecessary repair (#406);
- Fixed: rar-renamer could not process some encrypted rar3-archives (#407).
Changes in NZBGet version 19.0:
- Unpack during download (#371):
- Downloaded files can now be unpacked as soon as every archive part is downloaded;
- New option DirectUnpack to activate direct unpacking;
- Direct unpack works even with obfuscated downloads; option DirectRename (see below) must be active for that;
- Option ReorderFiles (see below) should be also active for optimal file download order;
- Direct unpack works for rar archives; 7-zip archives and simply splitted files are processed by default unpack module;
- Direct unpack obviously works only for healthy download; if download is damaged the direct unpack cancels and the download is unpacked during post-processing stage after files are repaired;
- Direct unpack reduces the time needed to complete download and post-processing;
- It also allows to start watching of video files during download (requires compatible video player software);
- See forum topic Unpack while downloading for more info;

- tLS certificate verification (#339):
- When connecting to a news server (for downloading) or a web server (for fetching of rss feeds and nzb-files) the authenticity of the server is validated using server security certificate. If the check fails that means the connection cannot be trusted and must be closed with an error message explaining the security issue;
