Download Usenet Explorer 5.3

Version 5.3 of Usenet Explorer has been released. With this program files from usenet can be downloaded. Usenet Explorer is characterized by low processor and memory usage, and extensive options, which may make it less suitable for novice users. A change has been made in this release that allows for longer retention and could potentially speed up searching by doing this on the server side when needed.

Changes in version 5.3:

• Search service protocol change to allow even higher retention and potentially faster search by supporting sets on the server side directly (will be engaged on the server side gradually as needed). To the client side code added the capability to accept sets format from the search servers.

With v5.3 there is currently reduced retention at 1400 days. The full retention will be reinstated tomorrow as the rest of the database needs to be converted. It won’t involve any search service interruption.
