Download Usenet Explorer 1.7.4

Alex Birj recently updated Usenet Explorer to version 1.7.4. This program allows files to be downloaded from Usenet. There is support for multiple servers and threads, nzb files, virtual groups and extensive filtering options. Among other things, this release fixes the problem of associating nzb files with Usenet Explorer under Windows Vista. The full changelog shows the following changes:

Changes in version 1.7.4:

• handled nzb file association issue in windows vista (edit menu -> properties -> general -> import/search, associate with import file extensions). first administrative permissions are needed for UE to associate the extension since the affected registry area in vista is restricted and secondly when associating files from windows explorer a new overriding other registry settings entry is now present in the registry which hasn’t been in the prior windows systems.
• Scheduler (edit menu -> properties -> scheduler) now has its own download/upload bandwidths for both active and inactive intervals (in the latter case with the possibility to suspend tasks as in the past) instead of using regular bandwidth for inactive intervals ( unless “suspend tasks” had been checked).
• warning added on the program start and when the user marks something for save (or download&save etc) and the save queue had been suspended earlier to avoid confusion why eg attachments are not saved, now the prompt how unsuspend save queue is given (ie to uncheck tasks menu -> suspend save queue).
• “cancel save” in the save pane of the task manager is now enabled.
