Ensisoft releases Newsflash Plus 3.3.1

[ensisoft]

I'm going to send the logs (next time that is).

I still need the program to retry/reconnect on disconnects whatever the reason for the disconnects is (external, internal, whatever) though so I'll be happy if you add such an option

One thing that I just remembered.. do you have that silly "Keep connections alive" option checked in the settings?

I HAD but I unchecked that box after I wrote the post yesterday and so far there haven't been any disconnects yet.

The connections are still there after download is finished so that option doesn't do what I thought

It seems that it doesn't disconnect anymore so I guess the problem is solved

I'm kinda starting to like that newznab thingy too.

If you don't mind.. please replicate the problem and send me a complete connection log so I can give a shot at figuring out what's the problem.

I'll get to it in a couple of days.

Binary distribution on Linux is a bitch. Works on 9.04 Ubuntu though.

Now that I used it for some time I have a few things that really needs to be fixed:

Watched folders:

When I download a NZB file into the watched folder and the program tries to read the file before it is finished (FF sets the original file name right away) it makes a file with error_NZBFILENAME.NZB. This doesn't happen in Alt.Binz and it's really annoying when downloading over 1 TB/month and you end up with a bunch of unusable NZB files.

There should be an option to select where it should dump the imported NZB file.

UI:

Group downloads in the downloads window. I get a headache when I have 20+ blu-ray ISO releases in that list and I want to increase priority on something and have to browse through..... yeah you get the idea

The repair tab gives me 2 problems: It's nice as a log, but it fails to show me the status of all the downloaded releases (witch maybe should be shown as in Alt.Binz where it is displayed on the NZB/release it has downloaded) if the releases are big. When the program extracts, and if it fails it just screams and run off and let the folder be a complete mess. The log usually just shows the last release and then I can just delete the partially unpacked stuff myself.
An option to delete crap that are not repairable would be nice, and the program needs to tell you that it failed too.

There should be 2 timers here. One countdown for the total download list and one countdown for each release.

That will be $5/issue fixed in donations as long as the grouping stuff is in (maybe a postcard for Xmas too).

I really like this program because it handles massive downloads so well and I just hate the authentication stuff in Alt.Binz. The newznab thingy is also something I really appreciate.

Looks good, any chance of getting a speed limiter on this please
