Download NewsLeecher 6.0 Beta 2

The second beta of NewsLeecher version 6.0 has been released. 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. New in version 6.0 includes SuperLeech. This makes it possible to repeat certain search criteria at regular intervals, for example to bring in new episodes of television series as soon as they become available. Various measures have also been taken to prevent spam and a password manager has been added, which can be used to extract password-protected archives from a list of stored passwords. This update includes several improvements to spam detection and several bug fixes.
