Download NewsBin Pro 6.30 build 1824 beta 6

The sixth beta release of NewsBin Pro version 6.30 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 enough memory, reduces constant access to the hard drive. The main changes from version 6.30 plus the improvements from beta 6 can be found below:
