Download URD 1.0.8

Version 1.0.8 of URD has been released. URD stands for Usenet Resource Downloader. With this program files from usenet can be downloaded. This can be done by using nzb files, but the program is also capable of analyzing a newsgroup itself and generating a download set for a specific collection of files. URD is being developed for Linux and BSD and is released under an open source license. New in version 1.0.8 is support for spots, as we know from Spotnet. The full changelog of this release looks like this:
