Download NewsLeecher 3.8 beta 2

Just two days after the release of the first beta release of NewsLeecher 3.8, the successor is already available. This program allows binary files from newsgroups to be downloaded. It also has an integrated search function (super search), so that you do not have to download all 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 it is not necessary to download all headers first. The changelog for this release shows the following changes:

Changes in version 3.8 beta 2:

• Added a ‘Quick Search’ filter to the Explorer view.
• Zero-Part description files used to be skipped by NewsLeecher when downloading. They can now be saved to the disk by setting a new option located at: Setup -> Download -> Keep 0-Part Files
• Added the ability to exclude specific subscribed groups from being updated by the new ‘auto group updater’ feature. Groups can be excluded from the group properties dialog.
• NewsLeecher will now save corrupt article parts instead of skipping them entirely. This improvement will result in fewer needed par2 parity block to perform repairs.
• A few small visual improvements. (SuperSearch search field has been made wider, etc.)
• A few bug fixes here and there. (The file explorer now remembers header column widths, etc.)
• Fixed bug where using shortcuts to navigate groups, would sometimes cause NewsLeecher to unload groups unexpectedly:
• Removed the ‘Max Server Retention’ property from the server setup dialog as the setting didn’t work. It will be properly implemented later on.
