Software Update: NewsLeecher 3.5 beta 5

The fifth beta release of NewsLeecher 3.5 has just been released. NewsLeecher is a binary newsreader for usenet, which downloads files from binary newsgroups. There is also an integrated search function (super search) so that you do not have to download all headers for a group from which you want to download files. Also present is NZB support. NZB files are small files that describe where certain files are located on usenet, so that you do not have to download all headers. The changelog of this release looks like this:
