Download NewsLeecher 5.0 Beta 8

Wednesday beta 8 of NewsLeecher version 5.0 became available. With this program it is possible to download files from newsgroups in a simple way. The program supports nzb files, has a SuperSearch, and can automatically check downloaded files for integrity and completeness and then extract them independently. New in version 5.0 is, among other things, that tabs have been added to the SuperSearch. Furthermore, there is now a SuperSearch Watchdog and they are working hard to improve the user interface. The changelog for beta 8 shows the following changes and improvements:

New features:

• Implemented an xmas theme for NewsLeecher. The animated snow, that is part of the theme, can be turned off via this setting:
  Settings -> Adv. Nerdy Tweaks -> GUI Theme Animations Allowed
  This, and future themes, can be turned off complete from:
  Settings -> Adv. Nerdy Tweaks -> GUI Theme Allowed
• The Repair & Extract Destination Manager can now also match PAR2 set names against group names, to decide the destination folder for extracted archives.
• Implemented a GUI compact mode feature, that, when enabled, will resize some of the toolbars in NewsLeecher, so they take up less space on screen. Can be accessed via settings: Settings -> Adv. Nerdy Tweaks -> GUI Compact Mode

Improved features:

• Larger Change – Redesigned User Interface
  The graphical user interface in NewsLeecher has been changed quite a bit, to make the application more streamlined.
• Vastly reduced the CPU cycles used by NewsLeecher, when lots of sets were present in the Repair & Extract view.
