Oh, maybe I missed that then. Will take another look as I do prefer the overall look and fell of NewsLeecher. It's just that I was doing a search for auto unrar'ing and AltBinz popped up.

Just noticed that the unrar feature is in the latest beta but I'm using 3.8 Final. Will take a look at it

LeperousDust · 19-11-2007, 15:43

Yeah sorry that might be it, i'm using 3.9 something or other rather than 3.8, still haven't tried it yet, AltBinz looks the shiz

Desmo · 19-11-2007, 20:27

Upgraded to the 3.9beta and it's all there

Giving it a test now.

LeperousDust · 20-11-2007, 14:21

It's official, dump newsleecher i'm totally loving Alt.Binz, only slight problem is all the built in searchs dont cover newzbin for some reason!

Desmo · 20-11-2007, 17:37

Hehehe, I got NewsLeecher doing what I want and so I'm going back to that. I think it just looks a bit slicker.

Got it set now so that I can just pop an NZB into a folder and it downloads, unrars into a "Completed" folder and then deletes all uneeded files. Excellent

Haha, we've swapped, ive been using par and extract for ages but i think the altbinz works better and has more options, plus its actually rightfully free and easy to update unlike newsleecher. Each to their own though.

Why do i talk about rightfully free and newsgroups what really is the point

?

Desmo · 20-11-2007, 19:29

I've still got AltBinz installed....but the GUI on NewsLeecher just looks so much neater

LeperousDust · 20-11-2007, 19:41

Seems the same to me really after a bit off fiddling, changed it from the horrid blue to silver too, and moved the server connections list up a bit etc... I'm more than happy, i never really use news readers anyways apart from things over 40 days old from easynews. You know about the new EU beta news server right? I've pulled stuff off there with retention of 84 (right on the brink lucky i had pars) days so far!

Desmo · 20-11-2007, 19:46

Yep, saw it the other day. Retention is so much better
