3.9 Beta 1 - Released 27 Jan 2007
---------------------------------
+: *BIG ADDITION*: NewsLeecher now implements a new feature called
Repair'n'Extract (RnE) which makes article verification,
repairing and extracting fully automatic.
Note that this is an early beta so the feature might still
contain various bugs. Bugfixes and more RnE funtionality will
be implemented in the forthcoming betas.

Cool, looks great. Cheers for the heads up ;)

thank you very much for the download link

Thank you, I just installed and tested it, working good and convenient.

I've been testing it this past week and it's been great! I queue a dozen or so DVDs and when I wake up their all done and ready to be burned! It saves a lot of time and I'm glad it's finally here. :)

yup
only problem i see if that hard drive/cpu usage goes up for a second after each rar finishes and obviously the whole computer slows down as it extracts unexpectedly> I also noticed some bugs like extracting to the wrong folder and stuff but that's not a big deal and will be fixed by final. :)

i've downloaded the app but can't find the feature :(

It's part of a tap called "Repair'n'Extract". You don't see it? It's right below the "Stop" icon.

Just in case you dont see that tab, go to: View->Pages->Repair'n'Extract
Click on the Repair'n'Extract tab and check all the boxes: Verify, .....

thanks,decided to start using newsgroups

weird i got version 3.8 final and i can't see anything under pages :(

EDIT: hhehehe just realised that my version doesn't have the feature hehehe

Its on version 3.9 beta.

For a beta it's very stable.
No probs sofar.

running ok

thanks dude for this info

was using SABnzbd

thanks mate sounds good

thank s so much

thanks

I've got a friend that is just about to get into Newsgroups, and I need to tell him what to do.

With this new feature of Newsleecher, will he also still have to install Winrar and Quickpar, or is that all taken care of with the new Beta version (he's not too techie, so I don't want to overload him)

thank m8:D

pretty much toaken care of but if there's a problem with newsleecher extracting it, which sometimes there is, you will need quickpar and/or winrar anyway.;)
He can start with just newsleecher and if he has problems you tell him to try quickpar/winrar.:)

I'm beginning to think that the Repair N' Extract feature just really isn't ready for prime time yet... Just yesterday after getting a larger download it tried to unzip but literally created about 8000 empty directories before I noticed there was an issue. Then other times the prog will just get stuck on testing the archive until I end up having to close the program. Ugh. I'm going back to AutoUnpack, the later betas were basically foolproof

its alright to me i like it no probs
