Download NewsLeecher 3.8 beta 5

Shortly after the release of the fourth beta version, the developers have already prepared beta 5 of NewsLeecher 3.8. This beta, which from here can be downloaded, has a critical bug fix regarding the use of SuperSearch compared to its predecessor. You can read exactly what that is at the bottom of this article. NewsLeecher is a program for reading messages from newsgroups via Usenet and downloading binaries. The developers took a close look at programs such as NewsBinPro, NewsPro, BNR and GrabIt, and then took the best points as the basis for NewsLeecher. The result is a program that can download from multiple servers at the same time, has support for yEnc encoding and can handle up to 99 threads simultaneously. NewsLeecher 3.8 beta 5 release notes are as follows:

We just found out that, the just released, beta 4 crashed SuperSearch under heavy load, so we’ve made a new beta 5 release which should fix the crashing prob. If you’ve just downloaded beta 4, please upgrade to beta 5 instead. Sorry for the inconvenience.
