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

I limit my speed by using fewer connections.

that would work, but I can max my line out using just the one connection.

On both US and EU servers? That would be quite an extraordinary feat!

I never need more than 3 connections on EU servers to max out my DL speeds.

Hello all,

Newsflash Plus 3.3.0 has been released. This is basically the first 3.3.0 non-beta version.

If you're on 3.3.0b7 there's no real need to update since there's only one additional bug fix and it's not visible at user level anyway.

I'm going to start working towards 3.4.0 version which will incorporate some of the requested features. Probably coming up, batch mode download list viewing, additional ETA counters, new Qt version, new and faster par, downloading par2 files only when needed and also possibly server priorization/backup server use and of course a bunch of smaller features. I'll see how it goes

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

Watched folders:

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

I guess you mean after it's processed and the contents being downloaded?

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

Yea, I can see this. I'm working on the batch viewing mode for this.

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.

Guess you're asking for a repair log that shows repair status for each release? The repairs are also logged in the application log.

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

cheers,

Yup.

Kind of. It could be as simple as showing me the release name in red txt (or maybe a FBI warning) so I know. Then I don't have to read the log unless I need info on the failed download/repair/extract.

I have updated the thread's title to reflect the current build.

Hi ensisoft, is there now an option to group the downloads similar to a folder?

[MultiForce]

Can we expect a new version anytime soon?
