Download NewsLeecher 3.9 beta 10

Friday was the tenth beta release of version 3.9 of NewsLeecher. This program is often regarded as one of the best of its kind and is intended for downloading binary files from newsgroups. For example, it has support for nzb files, it has a so-called ‘super search’ and can automatically check files for completeness and then extract them. Several improvements have been made in this release, including the Repair’n’Extract function. The full changelog of this release looks like this:

Changes in 3.9 beta 10:

• (Repair’n’Extract) Added full support for standard split sets.
• (Repair’n’Extract) Added full support for RAR split sets.
• (Repair’n’Extract) Added full support for single-file PAR split sets.
• (Repair’n’Extract) The type of the individual Repair’n’Extract sets (RAR, PAR Split, etc.) is now shown in the Repair’n’ Extract listview.
• (SuperSearch) When performing a SuperSearch search, detailed SuperSearch connection information is now written to the log. Useful when tracking the reason for SuperSearch connection problems.
• (Repair’n’Extract) Fixed a pretty serious bug where the NewsLeecher Repair’n’Extract feature would sometimes delete files which were not supposed to be deleted. Happened with non-archive PAR2 sets, when the ‘Extract to sub folder’ setting was not enabled.
• Fixed bug where the destination folder wasn’t always correctly set when importing NZB files.
• Fixed bug where “When Empty Quit/Shutdown PC” was still activated if group headers were being downloaded.
• Fixed bug that made it possible to bypass a set tray password.
