Download Usenet Explorer 2.2

Alex Birj released version 2.2 of Usenet Explorer just before the weekend. With this program files can be downloaded from usenet. Support is provided for simultaneous download of text and files across multiple servers and threads. Furthermore, Usenet Explorer offers the possibility to load nzb files and to use extensive filtering options. Since version 2.0, the program can handle par files automatically, making verifying, repairing and extracting much easier. In version 2.2, mainly changes have been made that have been suggested by users:

Changes in version 2.2:

• Recent folders entry has been added to the unpack main menu, the toolbar and modified&custom browse for folders dialogs.
• Ssl code has been recomplied with zlib code to enable zlib compression for zlib aware servers which may increase header download speed. zlib aware ssl servers are shown with yellow lock and the rest with dark cyan lock on the server icon.
• Article tasks now are optionally disengaged from disabled servers. the option is enabled by default, properties->tasks, disengage article tasks from disabled servers. it prevents stuck pending tasks waiting for disabled servers to become reenabled.
• When download becomes repairable and there are pending tasks on disabled servers or servers with maximum number of tasks set to zero – unpack will take over instead of waiting for the user-incapacitated servers.
• Proper prompts are given when disabling a server will affect article tasks or when there are no active destination servers for the group so marking for download doesn’t result in any action.
• Compact binary groups are now much friendlier with threads enabled as to threaded binary (mal)posts (a weird posting mode in power post), when marking for download if an entry is moved into a thread – the thread is automatically expanded, so it doesn ‘t look like the entry disappeared from the view.
• Create folder prompt is now optional (edit menu -> properties -> general -> miscellaneous).
• A number of other improvements.
