Download NewsLeecher 6.0 alpha 4

A new alpha release of NewsLeecher version 6.0 has become available. With this program it is possible to download files from newsgroups in a simple way. The program supports nzb files, has a SuperSearch and can automatically check downloaded files for integrity and completeness, and then extract them independently. Version 6.0 is especially interesting for people who use the SuperSearch. A new option has been added called SuperLeech. It can repeat certain search criteria at regular intervals, for example to bring in new episodes of television series as soon as they become available.

This release includes a password manager that attempts to extract password-protected archives from a list of stored passwords, and a spam detection option has been added.
