Download NewsLeecher 3.9 beta 11

While the last time there was about a month between new beta releases of NewsLeecher, this time it only took three days for version 3.9 beta 10 to be followed up. NewsLeecher is often regarded as one of the best of its kind and is intended for retrieving 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. The changelog of this release shows the following changes:

Changes in version 3.9 beta 11:

• Enabled the Repair’n’Extract option which allows permanently deletion of used set files, when the set has been extracted. The option can be turned on from the ‘Setup -> Repair’n’ Extract Tab’.
• Further optimized the code used for fetching headers. Uses a bit less CPU and disk resources now.
• Fixed bug introduced in the previous beta, where Repair’n’ Extract was unable to extract sets if the ‘Time & Date Prefix Subfolder’ option was turned on.
• Fixed bug where Repair’n’Extract would go into a loop if all the files in a Repair’n’Extract set were triggered by the user customizable ignore filter.
• Fixed bug where Repair’n’Extract would hang if it tried to unpack a fileset to a folder containing more than 256 characters.
• Fixed bug introduced in v3.9 beta 6, where article sizes and parts count would be exagerated in the articles listview, if headers were fetched from more than a single server.
• Fixed bug where the ‘z’ character could not be used in ‘tray restore’ security passwords.
• Fixed bug where the splash screen would get stuck under certain circumstances.
• (re)Fixed bug where NewsLeecher would always steal window focus when importing NZB files, even if setup not to do so.
• The ‘Notify on new Release’ option didn’t work in the last few betas. This has been fixed.
• Removed the ‘Verify’ option from the Repair’n’Extract toolbar. Verification will now always be performed, if the Repair’n’ Extract feature is enabled.
