Software Update: Newsbin Pro 6.80 Build 4841 Beta 1

The first beta release of NewsBin Pro 6.80 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 6.80, among other things, the download engine has been further improved and several problems have been fixed.

Version 6.80 Beta 1 Build 4841

• Fixed issue where Newsbin couldn’t download if there was an illegal filename in subject.
• Fixed issue where the “Look in Groups” dropdown in a Watch Topic wasn’t remembering the Group chosen and defaulted to searching all newsgroups.
• Removed confirmation prompt when performaing a “Mark All Old” since it is non-destructive and reversable.
• Fixed issue in AutoPar when the first par2 file is corrupt. Now triggers other par downloads.
• Now compacts all NZB records that come from Sonarr or SickBeard to solve issue displaying post sets with obscured filenames.
• Fixed issue where automatic assemble incompletes wasn’t working correctly.
• Resolved intermittent stalling issue when retries fail.
• Reduced logging in some cases. Caused the disks to get hammered.
• NZB Autoload no longer looks at rar files larger than 5MB. There is no limit in the size of NZB files
• Change AutoPAR to go ahead and unrar 0 byte files. Sometimes they are meaningful files.
• The performance option “Fail Chunks with bad yEnc Formats” is now on by default. Most are correct these days. Bad ones are usually spam.
• In cases where the yEnc filename doesn’t contain an extension now uses the filename from the Subject.
• Change in the download engine to download raw data and send to decoder after the fact instead of processing on the fly.
• Speed ​​and reliabilty enhancements to yEnc, Mime, and UU decoding functions since they are now decoupled from the download engine.
