Software update: Usenet Explorer 5.2

Spread the love

Version 5.2 of Usenet Explorer has been released. With this program files from usenet can be downloaded. Usenet Explorer is characterized, among other things, by a low processor and memory usage, and extensive possibilities, which may make it less suitable for novice users. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

Changes in version 5.2

  • Added the capability to use unrar password list files in the task manager unpack pane context menu -> Set unrar password. Since unrar may take some time before returning a wrong password error – trying several passwords may lengthen the time needed for the successful unrar.
  • Added option Edit menu -> Properties-> Tasks -> Sockets/Network , Network threads, Reuse (don’t destroy), checked by default. With the option enabled the program won’t destroy the worker threads, but will suspend and reuse them instead, so even when there are no active tasks – the Windows task manager will show all worker threads still there. While there is no noticeable impact on the system performance (as those are just the thread context data), the feature effectively addresses buggy third party drivers failing when an application creates/destroys many threads.
  • Missing parts in header properties now shows range instead of enumerating all missing parts individually.
  • Updated the built-in kill filter.
