Download NNTPGrab 0.5.0

NNTPGrab is able to download files from usenet and is released under the gpl. It can use the well-known nzb files, automatically process par2 files and consult multiple usenet servers. For more information, we refer you to this page. The developers have released version 0.5.0 for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. The corresponding list of customizations looks like this:

Version 0.5.0:

• Improved the automatic unpack GUI by showing the files which are currently being extracted
• Improved error handling in the automatic unpack
• Rewritten several parts of the Automatic Unpack plugin which are needed to prevent a console window being shown while unpacking on Win32 environments
• When a collection contains multiple PAR2 sets, the GUI could show a lot of assertion errors. Fixed
• When checking PAR2 files which belong to another PAR2 set, the progressbar in the GUI could get stuck. Fixed
• Don’t bail out when decoding invalid yEnc messages. Solves the ‘Unknown decode error occurred, No error (0)’ messages
• Reduce the required disk space on Win32 environments by using a small wrapper program for the executable nntpgrab_gui_debug.exe
• Dropped the cURL dependency for environments where libsoup 2.4 (or higher) is installed. This reduces the size of the installer on Win32 and Mac OS X environments
• The performance of decoding files should be slightly improved
• The NNTPGrab Server could freeze on old Linux environments when run in the background. Fixed
• Made the columns in the Repair and Unpack tab resizeable and repositionable
• Renamed the toolbar button ‘Enable automatic shutdown’ to ‘Automatic shutdown’ to prevent wrapping
• Automatic shutdown wasn’t working on Mac OS X environments. Fixed
• Introduced an automatic snapshot generator which builds Mac OS X installers after each change done in the Subversion repository. These snapshots are published at http://www.nntpgrab.nl/snapshots
• Rewritten the speed monitor in the GUI to be more efficient
• The program could crash when performing a NZBCreator search with the minimum or maximum file size options set. Fixed
• Rewritten the processing of signals in the glue layer to be more efficient
• Made the download queue manipulation code more thread safe
• Several changes required for Win64 support
• Several memory leaks fixed
