Download NewsLeecher 3.5 beta 9

Today is the ninth beta release of NewsLeecher 3.5. With this program binary files from newsgroups can be downloaded. It also has an integrated search function (super search), so that you do not have to download all the headers for a group from which you want to download files. In addition, there is NZB support, small files that describe where certain binaries are located on usenet, so that in this case it is not necessary to download all headers first. The changelog of this release shows the following changes:

Note:

If you’re registered NewsLeecher user, you must update your licensekey to use this release of NewsLeecher. Just launch NewsLeecher and follow the instructions onscreen to update the key.

New features:

• The license expiration date shown on the about dialog, will now be updated everytime NewsLeecher is launched. So when more licensetime is given to registered users, due to downtime, etc, it will be shown on the about dialog on next application launch. Note: NewsLeecher must be able to load the integrated ‘News’ page to be able to use this new functionality.

Improved features:

• Readded the right-click popup menu to the XPAT window.
• Readded the right-click popup menu to the small bandwidth meter on the NewsLeecher statusbar

• Deactivating groups from the popup menu didn’t work. Fixed
