Download Usenet Explorer 2.02

Alex Birj recently released version 2.02 of Usenet Explorer. With this program files can be downloaded from usenet. Support is provided for simultaneous download of text and files across multiple servers and threads. Furthermore, the program offers the possibility to load nzb files and extensive filtering options. In version 2.0, among other things, the automatic handling of par files has been added, so that files are verified, repaired and unpacked. Below is the complete overview of all changes since version 2.0:

Changes in version 2.0:

• Unpack feature has been introduced which can handle par2 verifying / repair / joining of split files, unraring with subsequent cleanup with customizable degree of automation. No additional utilities are needed, the program is still contained in the single executable.
  for details see and the help button in edit menu->properties->save/unpack, the bottom help ( “? >>” )button in the middle of the properties pane.
  by default full automation mode is activated, all can be customized in edit menu->properties->save/unpack.
• several non-unpack related changes added to v2.0 like shell open/explore mode in properties->general; few small issues with pre-unpack code fixed eg not remembering the last current import group in the search service bar.
• as to search service we may expect higher uptime after a module has been added to constantly monitor the server state and notify if a connection lost or a server computer went down.
• Attention: please note that launching pre v2.0 versions will empty the v2.0 unpack pane in the task manager, since it is sharing string file with prior versions so the unpack related data in the file will be lost leading to discarding the rest of the unpack pane content.

Changes in version 2.01:

• includes several organic refinements of unpack behavior as postponing download of subsequent par2 files (instead of setting/relying on download queue order), applying save attachments settings when discarding download/save tasks (eg unneeded par2 files) instead of deleting bodies, plus a couple or fixes, almost all after constructive user feedback.

Changes in version 2.02:

• added “open with” and “open in editor” unpack context menu entries in the advanced submenu, “show password” for unrar password dialog is now persistent as it was intended to be; introduced in v2.01 features needed small additional article tasks <-> unpack sync refinement.
