Download NewsBin Pro 6.70 Build 4496 Beta 4

A new beta version of NewsBin Pro has been released. 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. In version 6.70, among other things, the download engine has been rewritten, the spam logic has been moved to a separate dll and we have said goodbye to Windows XP. The changelog for this release looks like this:

Version 6.70 Beta 4 Build 4496

• Fixed issue where column sorting in the files list makes them vanish.
• Changes to how dynamic download path is determined in order to fix issues $(SEARCH) and $(FILENAME) path variables.
• Added logic to make writes to the .nbi file and the rar passwords file more robust.
• Fixed issue where unrar wasn’t generating empty folders that were specified inside the RAR set.
• Fixed issue where PAR only sets weren’t clearing the download list even when files are perfect.
• Unraring a file now applies 2 timestamps to the extracted files. “Created” is the date of download. “Date” is the date of the file inside the rar.
• Fixed issue where RAR and Repair progress bars weren’t using different colors.
• Fixed issue where “Assemble Incompletes” wasn’t kicking in when it should.
• Fixed issue where NZB Files are using “Placeholder” for the group when queued using drag and drop.
• Fixed the “Time to Finish Current Downloads” counter in the Status Bar at the bottom of the Newsbin window.
• Fixed issue where the LoadSpecial function wasn’t respecting the max age setting.
• Made change the password manager. Hitting enter is like clicking “Add New” instead of “Ok”.
• Fixed issue processing uuencoded posts.
• Made changes to better handle split rar/par sets, where the par files are posted separately from the rar files.
• Rewrite of the Watch List Scan window. Comes up when you click the “Test Watch” button.

Known issues:

• Download lists from versions older than 6.60 are not compatible.
• Disabling unrar in the watch lists doesn’t work
• Manually entered group as a Watch List filter does not work. Can only choose Group or Group folders here.
• NBRemote hangs on last file when displaying files list
• NBRemote does not work with trial keys
• Cannot drag and drop groups in the Groups tab for ordering
• Need to add support for .REV files
• Drag and Drop to order the Groups list in the Groups tab is not hooked up, nor can you column sort the groups. Workaround is to edit the .nbi file directly.
• There have been reports that Newsbin isn’t saving the correctly renamed files to descript.ion file.
• Newsbin renames the file on disk and then lands the file. Without re-writing the description.ion, there’s no way to fix this.
• Works on Windows 7 and newer. (It does run on Vista but that operating system is not recommended)
• Crosspost filters in the Add Groups dialog are not hooked up.
• Our Beta Support Forum has current discussions about this beta release.
