Download NewsLeecher 5.0 Beta 3

Spread the love

Just three days after the release of the second beta release of version 5.0 of NewsLeecher, another successor has appeared. With this program it is possible to download files from newsgroups in a simple way. The program supports nzb files, has a so-called SuperSearch, and can automatically check downloaded files for integrity and completeness, and then extract them independently. New in version 5.0 is, among other things, that tabs have been added to the SuperSearch. Furthermore, there is now a SuperSearch Watchdog and they are working hard to improve the user interface. The changelog for beta 3 shows the following changes and improvements:

New features:

  • A few users seem to find it hard to get used to the new way NewsLeecher distinguishes “new” articles from “old” articles. So it’s now possible to revert to the old way to visually distinguish between the articles, by turning off the following setting under: Settings -> Adv. Nerdy Tweaks -> Article New Old Star Mode
  • Doubleclicking a group in the ‘Group Navigation Panel’, will now open the group for browsing, but at the same time, close all other open groups.
  • Added shortcut (Keyboard : “H”) to show / hide the “Group Navigation Panel”.
  • Added shortcut (Keyboard : “G”) to show the ‘Group Navigation Dropdown’.
  • Added shortcut (Keyboard : F12) to toggle ‘Show Old Articles’ On / Off in the ‘Articles’ view.

Improved features:

  • Rebuilt and moved the group navigation dropdown button. It is now located on the ‘Articles’ toolbar.
  • Drag’n’Drop for the Servers Listview, Queue Listview and the Subscriptions Listview has been reimplemented.
  • Reimplemented ‘Export to NZB’ feature for the queue listview.
  • Lots of smaller improvements.
  • Lots of smaller fixes.

Fixed bugs:

  • Fixed the way NewsLeecher handles right click selection in the article listviews. It now handles right click selection the same way as Windows Explorer does.
  • The “Copy Subject to Clipboard” and “Copy Poster to Clipboard” features didn’t work in the previous beta. Fixed.
  • Fixed bug introduced in previous beta, where NewsLeecher would sometimes spit out a bug when right clicking the tabs.
