Download NewsLeecher 6.5 Beta 5

The fifth beta release of NewsLeecher version 6.5 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 6.5 adds support for high-resolution screens, among other things. The changelog for this release can be found below.

Note:

• This version of NewsLeecher automtically updates some internal file formats to be more efficient. It is recommended that you backup the NewsLeecher settings folder before installing, so you can smoothly downgrade to an older release later on, if wanted.

New:

• New larger feature addition to the SuperLeech service. The new optional feature, called “Video File Inspector”, will check up on all “video media” leeches, to make sure they contain video files ( *.MKV, *.MP4, etc. ). If no video files are detected, the feature will let SuperLeech know, so it can look for another match.
• It is now possible to setup SuperLeech to look for video media files in specific qualities. So if you, for example, only want video media in “720p” resolution, simple tick the new “720p quality” checkbox on the SuperLeech entry setup dialog, and SuperLeech will then automatically make sure only that quality is leeched.
• Implemented a “detailed logging” setting for SuperLeecher. It can be accessed from: Settings -> SuperLeech -> Detailed Logging

Changed:

• The SuperLeech GUI has been totally re-designed, so it is simpler and fater to use.
• Improved the ( optional ) functionality used by SuperLeech to detect “sample” articles. It now catches more samples than it did previsouly.
• Improved the “collection” functionality in NewsLeecher so *.srt files are now automatically added to article collections.
• Much better organized logging information related to leeching and SuperLeech usage.
• Lots of smaller improvements.

Fixed:

• Fixed bug where SuperLeech would sometimes leech “sample” articles, even though it was setup to ignore those.
• Lots of smaller bug fixes.
