Download Nntpgrab 0.4.1

Spread the love

Nntpgrab is able to download files from usenet and is released under the gpl. It can use the well-known nzb files, automatically process par2 files and consult multiple usenet servers. For more information, we refer you to this page. The developers released version 0.4.1 for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows just before the new year. The corresponding list of customizations looks like this:

Version 0.4.1:

  • The automatic PAR2 wouldn’t start when the subject of the file is malformed. This is fixed by checking the file extension after each decode instead of relying only on the subject for the filename
  • Before starting to decode files, test if the resulting directory can be opened. If this isn’t possible, return an error message and pause the download queue to avoid files from getting lost
  • As of NNTPGrab 0.3.0, connecting to IPv6 servers triggered a ‘stack smashing attack’ after which the program was automatically killed. Fixed
  • The decoder could generate several empty files when there’s no diskspace available. Fixed
  • Improve error handling when saving files on async NFS shares
  • Fixed a crash which occured when more than 10 servers are added in the configuration
  • Raised the maximum number of servers from 10 to 25 servers
  • Fixed a possible compile failure
  • Fixed a possible crash in the webinterface and the networked GUI
