Download NewsBin Pro 6.20 build 1513

The final release of NewsBin Pro version 6.20 has been released. NewsBin Pro is intended to retrieve files, such as photos, movies and programs, from usenet. These files can be downloaded in individual packets from one or more news servers and reassembled at the receiving end. Since version 6.00, the interface uses tabs and there is a cache-to-memory option that, if a machine has plenty of memory, reduces constant access to the hard drive. New in version 6.20 include a spam filter and the ability to set network throughput rates per hour and per day. Furthermore, proxy support has been improved, memory consumption has been reduced and the reliability of downloading and processing rar files has been improved. The full changelog for version 6.20 looks like this:
