Spread the love

Version 0.6.2 of NNTPGrab was released on Sunday. With this program files from usenet can be downloaded. NNTPGrab can of course handle nzb files, is able to automatically process par2 files and can consult several usenet servers at the same time. The software is released under an open source license and is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. Version 0.6.1 is a bug fix release and fixes the program crashes under Mac OS X, among other things. Below is the full changelog of this release.

Changes in NNTPGrab version 0.6.2:

  • Added support for Windows x64
  • When connecting to servers, keep the results of all DNS lookups in a cache so reconnecting can be done faster. This should also lower the possibility of the error message ‘No hostname could be found for servername x’ from occuring
  • Automatically retry connecting to usenet servers when a connection error has occurred. This should fix a bug where the download queue could hang when the network connection is unstable
  • Very small files could get stuck in the download queue. Fixed
  • In a rare situation, the program could deadlock while trying to remove a file from the download queue. Fixed
  • Really disable activating the automatic import on Mac OS X
  • Fixed a crash which could occur on shutdown on Win32/Win64 environments
  • When a network disconnect is discovered by the NetworkManager plugin, the download queue would always get stopped, even when the download queue was inactive. Improved the handling of this situation
  • Don’t wait for active decode actions to be completed before applying configuration changes. This fixes a temporary hang or a deadlock which could occur when changing something in the configuration while a file is being decoded
  • The download queue could get in an undefined state when applying multiple configuration changes very quick after each other. Fixed
  • When using collection names > 128 characters some error messages could pop up while adding files or performing a PAR2 repair or an unpack. Fixed
