Download NewsLeecher 3.9 beta 9

Just before the weekend, the ninth beta release of version 3.9 of NewsLeecher came out. 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. New in this release is, among other things, the possibility to display the quantity and size of the selected articles in the SuperSearch. The full changelog of this release looks like this:

Changes in version 3.9 beta 9:

• Removed all dependencies of Internet Explorer from NewsLeecher. NewsLeecher usually uses an integrated Internet Explorer based module to fetch SuperSearch connection information, checking for new releases, etc.. This module has now been replaced with a natively build module, which uses fewer resources and is less prone to errors caused by OS security settings , etc.
• If you enter “about:supersearch” (without quotes) in the SuperSearch search field, NewsLeecher will return debug connection info related to SuperSearch.
• It’s now possible to see how many articles, aswell as the combined size of the articles, that are currently selected in the SuperSearch window
• The installer now makes it optional to generate desktop and quick-launch icons.
• Minor improvements here and there. (NewsLeecher writes SuperSearch initialization & connection info in log, optimized compiler update, etc.)
• Fixed bug introduced in previous beta, where the speed scheduler didn’t work as expected
• Few minor bug fixes. (problems with entering key if it contained a whitepspace character, etc.)
