.... and we are back in business!
Can you clarify what you mean with this?
If you download using the RSS feed (which is broken btw cause the authentication API changed) the downloaded stuff will go into a folder of its own. Same with downloads that come through the Search.

Hi ensisoft, hope you had a good vacation in Thailand. (The Pirate Bay's Fredrik Neij seems to like the country, considering how long he has been there)
I think what sassan might have meant is having the choice of using the group name as a download folder or not.
as in Newsleecher's settings:
Hello all!
I've released a new version. I hope you all have been eagergly waiting for it!
Anyway this is a development release 3.4.0b1. It's possible that there are some bugs but there shouldn't be any major clitches otherwise I wouldn't be releasing it.
Whats changed or new?
- In headers age is displayed as days to now instead of just a NNTP date
- Age filtering in headers
- Grouping downloads into a "batch" and showing just the batch in the downloads tab.
- nzbs.org RSS feed working again (they changed their authentication mechanism)
- Connections dying on SSL errors, they are respawned now on error
- Pause/resume not working on task that are not visible in the downloads tab window
- Improved(?) ETA estimation, using moving exponential average (huh you say? me too..)
- File size in downloads
- Ability to move processed NZB files to a "dump" location
- Final binary writing on the background (should reduce any UI hickups)
- ... and a bunch of other smaller changes
And whats coming up??
- Revised Repair/Extract log thingy
- Low disk warning
- More IO optimisations
- History component (I can't keep track of all the stuff I've downloaded and I download duplicates.. not good)
- Throttle for limiting the bandwidth usage
- Whole download queue size + ETA
- More fixes...
download from here.. http://www.ensisoft.com scroll down for development version.
Please let me have that feedback either here or then via the Feedback system or using the forum at http://www.ensisoft.com/forum
Thanks

Looks good. I hope to try this release out thoroughly tomorrow.
I'm hoping that these additional feature requests might get considered in the future:
*support for fill-servers.
*allow setting different number of connections on each server.
*click-to-expand grouping of articles/ into rars/ into complete fileset
*toolbar buttons for "load NZB" and "open download folder" and "open/close all connections"
*a complete uninstaller (that leaves nothing behind).
MaybeAlready possible. Double click the server, just below the name "Maximum connections"
*allow setting different number of connections on each server.
No
*click-to-expand grouping of articles/ into rars/ into complete fileset
Already have these
*toolbar buttons for "load NZB" and "open download folder" and "open/close all connections"
Yes. Hopefully for the next non-beta release.
*a complete uninstaller (that leaves nothing behind).
Hello,
a new development version is available 3.4.0b2. This release includes:
- fill server support
- revamped repair log
- enhanced search including music search and item information
The application now carries a small embedded advertisment. I realize this might piss some people off, but hey, bandwidth and hosting is not free. Most people just like to complain about bugs and "lacking features" while not appreciating what has been already done. So if you want to help the development and get rid of the advertisment its only 3€. Shouldn't break anyone's wallet.

Thank you all.

Tried it now and it looks okay so far.
As you already implied, here comes the questions and the demands
I have a problem getting it to download from 2 servers at the same time. It just connects to AW and if I "clone" an idle connection to SN it just doesn't seem to care about it.
Is there a trick, or isn't it possible?
The whole point was to do as in Newsbin so I get 100% bandwidth usage all the time, and it also grabs missing articles from other servers even if it's already using them.
Is it possible to move "Description" etc. around? I find it a bit weird to have it on the right side.
One tiny complaint: It seems to download one file/connection but if there's only a few files left it's wasting time because it doesn't utilize the bandwidth.
Noobs might think the download fails since it "errors" a download because of no sound card

I like the way things are going though so keep up the good work.
Sure it's possible. Sounds like you don't have anything to download from that server. The idea is that when you download something you choose the server you want to download from. (This is in the settings). This isn't newsbin after all.
No
Yeah that's a limitation of the current design. Better to just download more
Looks good, I'll have to try it. Does this version have compressed headers?
How does this adware work, exactly? I don't mind seeing ad banners (most websites have them) but a concern is the underlying software --often classified as malware-- that has historically powered these ads in P2P clients like Kazaa.
I'm sure the reason why so many people get "pissed off" with adware is that wthey've been badly burned in the past. Nasty things like Cydoor and Gator that were very hard to ever remove from an infected PC, and could sabotage a computer permanently. The scores of people who have had to reformat their hard drive and re-install their operating system because invasive adware fµcked it up -- they have every right to be suspicious of adware, don't you think?
Of course not all adware today is malevolent, but memories remain. It might seem an unfair prejudice, but that's why it could be an uphill battle getting some people to ever trust any form of adware again -- at least while their wounds are still fresh. (A shame, really, since adware was a good idea that got badly abused.)
That's also been my suggestion. I greatly prefer to download one file at a time rather than every file simultaneously. Every modern client I know of works this way. It seems that with Newsflash, the only way to sequentially download one file at a time is to limit the server to one single connection.Yeah that's a limitation of the current design. Better to just download more
I can think of many reasons why it can be better to completely download the first file first: to check for passworded files, preview the video, or just listen to the first song in a big collection -- and not waste much bandwidth if the download is ultimately jettisoned.
Is there any advantage to downloading every file simultaneously? I can't think of any.
