Download Usenet Explorer 2.3

Alex Birj released version 2.3 of Usenet Explorer today. With this program it is possible to download files via usenet. There is support for downloading text and files across multiple servers and threads. Furthermore, Usenet Explorer offers the possibility to load nzb files and to use extensive filtering options. Since version 2.0, the program can automatically handle par files, making verification and repair a lot easier. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

All changes since version 2.2:

• When UE exits because of very low space, instead of exiting silently a low space message box is now displayed with an option to restart after freeing more disk space manually
• In properties->tasks, relative chance to run a slider is added which can be either in “save” or “unpack” position, thus giving preference to save or unpack tasks, which may be useful for very fast connections when the program is able to download attachments faster than to save them and the user wants to unpack immediately. the default is the “save” tasks having preference because of better utilizing system file cache resulting in faster save.
• Subscribe to newsgroups option was added in search results view and from non-regular group views (import, xpat types of groups and virtual groups containing at least one group of those types). thus it is more easy to use search in finding relevant groups of interest.
• Size left now also shown when download speed is zero
• If a removable drive which is the save destination has been disconnected – UE will suspend the save queue.
• Unpack “auto add” entry has been removed from the main menu as too drastic option, it can now only be accessed through properties.
• As running quickpar autorepair concurrently is certainly not recommended and cannot be handled completely, if quickpar did autorename misnamed files – UE won’t overwrite them, but rather will give a rename error.
• Auto collection grouping has been improved by handling additional non-standard cases, those kinds of posts formerly separate now are included into a collection.
• For new installs the default “save all” and “save queue” every x min in properties->general has been changed from empty (option not in use) to 90 min and 30 min respectively.
• Refined code synchronizing unpack panel content with actual files on the program start; other unpack internals code refinements
• Fixed a problem when in few cases collection size >4GB wasn’t shown correctly
• When sorted by size or lines sometimes entries around >4GB collections were in wrong order
• Composite filter consisting of other composite filters is now working properly
