Download NewsLeecher 4.0 Beta 11

The eleventh beta release of NewsLeecher 4.0 was released on Wednesday. With this program it is possible to download files from newsgroups in a simple way. NewsLeecher has support for nzb files, has a so-called super search, and can automatically check downloaded files for integrity and completeness and then extract them independently. In this release, a change has been made to the way files are temporarily stored, so it is recommended that you backup all files before installing. The full changelog of this release looks like this:

Note:

• This beta release makes a small change to the cache file format. It is recommended that you make a backup of your NewsLeecher data before installing.

New features:

• Added a “Copy to Clipboard” function to the log window toolbar. The function can be used to copy the visible part of the log window contents to the clipboard.

Improved features:

• The time it takes to add articles to the transfer queue, has, in some extreme cases where the size of the transfer queue is very very large, been reduced substatially.
• Optimized one of the transfer queues disk cache files, resulting in faster load / save time, and a ~10x reduction of size of that specific cache file.

Fixed bugs:

• Fixed bug introduced in beta 10, where the new article download save system didn’t always work as expected.
• Fixed bug where all group headers would be re-fetched from the server, if all locally stored group headers were manually deleted from cache, using the “Delete from Cache” feature.
• Fixed bug where temporary download files were not always deleted like they were supposed to.
• Fixed bug introduced in beta 10, where downloaded articles were sometimes (rarely) corrupted.
• Fixed bug introduced in beta 10, where a “Unknown Temp Folder” dialog would sometimes popup when closing NewsLeecher.
• Fixed bug introduced in beta 10, where the ‘Get Latest X Headers’ feature didn’t work under certain circumstances.
• Fixed bug introduced in beta 10, where the thumb preview panel didn’t work properly.
• Narrower fixes. (TAB flickering fixed, drop down combo box issue fixed, etc.)
