NNTPGrab Description

Free Usenet downloader for your Mac NTPGrab is a free and open source, easy to use Usenet download program. Here are some key features of "NNTPGrab": · Import of NZB files · Download from multiple servers using multiple threads · Configurable download priority and server priority · Possibility to run the GUI on a different computer than where the downloads are happening · Possibility to control the program using a webinterface · Support for NNTP-over-SSL · Automatic NZB import (directory monitor) · Integrated NZB search engine · Automatic PAR2 repair · Automatic unpack · Automatic shutdown after all downloads are completed · Support for bandwidth limiting · Support for plugins · Can be controlled using JSON-RPC · Support for downloading over proxy servers · Can be used on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux What's New in This Release: · Improved the overall performance of the program by reducing the number of threads involved while downloading files · Configuration changes are applied much faster than before · The decoder has been rewritten for improved performance · Saving of downloaded files is now more efficient because the need for a temporary dump file has been eliminated · Don't bother checking the download queue when no servers are enabled · The download thread will now automatically suspend itself when no new queued items have been found in the last 30 seconds. As soon as some activity happens in the download queue (adding or restarting tasks) the download thread will automatically be resurrected · Several other optimalisations have been applied in the schedular, the download thread and the GTK GUI · Make downloading using SSL more reliable · Bandwidth limiting has been implemented · The reliability of the speed monitor has been improved · Support for downloading using proxy servers has been implemented · Use GNOME's proxy settings for the update check and NZBCreator when they're available (Linux only) · A plugin architecture has been implemented which makes it much easier to add new functionality to the program · Automatically pause/resume the download queue when a network connection has been disconnected/resumed (Linux only) · Added a plugin which automatically logs all debug messages to disk · Added a plugin which allows NNTPGrab to be controlled using JSON-RPC · The program can now also run on Fonera environments · Added French translation · Optimized the NNTPGrab Server by eliminating several regular expressions · Fixed a possible deadlock caused by the PAR2 code · Added a new ./configure option: --disable-ssl · Don't search for libcurl when running ./configure --disable-gui · Added a workaround for a bug in par2cmdline (the index file MUST have the extension .par or .par2) · Added some code to prevent the database being opened by multiple threads at the same time as this can cause 'Database is locked' errors on Win32 · Moving items in the download queue to the bottom was broken with GTK 2.18.0 or higher.
