Download NewsLeecher 3.9 beta 1

When the final release of version 3.8 of NewsLeecher was released a few days ago, it was already announced that the first beta release of version 3.9 would appear within 48 hours, and yesterday that indeed happened. NewsLeecher is a program with extensive possibilities to download binary files from newsgroups. Only one new feature has been added in this release, but it is a very spectacular one; namely Repair’n’Extract. At the moment it is able to verify, repair and unpack articles on Usenet fully automatically. More functionality will be added in upcoming beta releases:

*BIG ADDITION*:

• NewsLeecher now implements a new feature called Repair’n’Extract (RnE) which makes article verification, repairing and extracting fully automatic. Note that this is an early beta so the feature might still contain various bugs. Bug fixes and more RnE functionality will be implemented in the forthcoming betas.
