Software Update: Newsbin Pro 6.62 Build 4314 Beta 1

A new version of NewsBin Pro has been released, a beta this time. With this program files, such as photos, videos and programs, can be retrieved from usenet. It has everything you would expect from a usenet downloader, such as support for multithreading, ssl and autopar. Furthermore, there are extensive filter options and an optional Usenet search service can be used. Version 6.62 is a bug fix release for version 6.60.

Version 6.62 Beta 1 Build 4314
We’ve made changes to 6.61 to try to address issues people have been reporting about assembly of incomplete posts failing. This seems to be exacerbated by what looks like propagation delays with some of the news servers. It also looks like people running watch lists are getting hit pretty hard by it.

Summary of Changes:

• Changed how aggressive assembly mode works, now tied to the retry counter. After retries run out on an incomplete post, Newsbin will assemble.
• Added option to turn on strict yEnc. It’s off by default now.
• Fixed issue where small single post non-files were not incrementing the retry counter.
• Fixed issue where a connection failure when performing an Internet Search would display the wrong error.
• Fixed the ability to create an NZB from wish list.
• Fixed issue loading GZ encoded NZBs. It was broken.
• Fixed issue where the “Show Filenames” setting was not being honored in expanded files.
