Download NewsLeecher 5.0 Beta 14

A new beta release of NewsLeecher version 5.0 has been released. With this program it is possible to download files from newsgroups in a simple way. The program supports nzb files, has a SuperSearch, and can automatically check downloaded files for integrity and completeness, and then extract them independently. New in version 5.0 is, among other things, that tabs have been added to the SuperSearch. In addition, there is now a SuperSearch Watchdog and work is underway to improve the user interface. The changelog for this release shows the following changes and improvements:

New feature

• Reintroduced buttons next to the article filter search boxes, which will open the advanced filter dialog, when clicked.

Improved feature

• Smaller improvements. (Info message shown, when clicking the ‘Connections View’ compacting button for the first time, bumped the maximum number of stored filter entries in the filter dropdowns from 30 to 99, etc.)

Fixed bugs

• Fixed bug from previous beta that sometimes caused NewsLeecher to activate the wrong groups, when double clicking the groups navigation panel.
• Fixed bug from previous beta that prevented the deletion of bookmarks and recent SuperSearch entries in the SuperSearch bookmark view.
• Fixed bug from previous beta where changing the ‘days’ value for search entry in the SuperSearch bookmark view, didn’t always work.
• Fixed bug where NewsLeecher would unpause PAR2 index files when added to the queue as ‘Paused’, if the ‘PAR2 Quick Download’ option was enabled.
• Fixed another download pausing logic bug, that, when the ‘PAR2 Quick Download’ option was enabled, would unpause PAR2 index files when added to the queue, even though the PAR2 file name returned a ‘hit’ when checked against the transfer queues subject pausing filter.
• Fixed bug where the article keyword highlighter didn’t always work properly when some specific characters were part of the article name.
