Download GrabIt 1.7.4 Beta

After a long time of silence, a new version of GrabIt has appeared again. This program is able to download files from newsgroups. Binaries that are split into several small files are automatically merged into the original file. GrabIt is free to use, but only registered users can access GrabIt Usenet Search and GrabIt Usenet Browser, with more search results and longer retention. The new versions come with the following notes:

GrabIt 1.7.4 ßeta

Usenet has been growing so quickly in the last month that I was having problems keeping the GrabIt Search engine up to date and running correctly. I installed some extra hardware last week to compensate, but now we have reached a technical limit inside GrabIt 1.7.3 so it can’t download articles newer than January 2017 (The ‘No articles for this Grab’ error message).

I just finished moving into a different house and I didn’t have time to work on GrabIt 2.0 at this time. But since the GrabIt Search is not usable at the moment, I will release a patch to fix GrabIt 1.7.3 today. Please stay tuned. Sorry for the inconvenience and the wait.
