Read Usenet posts and plunder binary groups

Fixed a small bug in the sorting algorithm for each thread’s children that caused some siblings to not get sorted properly.Modified “Last Update” column in Workgroups view to indicate the date/time of the last header retrieval.Added “Last New Header” column to Workgroups view to indicate when a header was last actually received.Added an option to defer attachment processing until Queue is IDLE as a new toolbar button on the Queue toolbar.Enhanced “Delete Saved Attachments” feature in the Message List to support selection of multiple messages.Added the ability to remove selected jobs from Post Processing sets in the Queue view.Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when using “Shutdown Now” in the “Shutdown When Idle” dialog.Fixed a bug that caused header data with multiple encodings to not decode properly.Fixed a bug in “Quoted-Printable” handling that caused character decoding to be bypassed.Added message text UTF-8 decoding when viewing messages. A Unicode-enabled font should be selected as the default viewer font if you will be reading many Unicode posts.Modified Scheduled Tasks “Auto-Queue” and “Top-Off Queue” to include the “Imported Messages” subfolder.Modified how unwanted newsgroups are handled to mark them as “Hidden” rather than deleting them. This prevents them from returning the next time the group list for a server is refreshed.Fixed a bug when editing a sent message to repost to correctly load the original newsgroup list.Added an option to load messages in a date range when the total number of messages in a Workgroup or Newsgroup exceeds your message limiter setting.Removed “Disabled” servers from the drop-down list in the NZB Import dialog.Fixed database selection dialog for Vista users.Added error handlers for PowerPurge logging errors.Enhanced Zip file handling during post processing to extract all files in the source folder to a single destination folder.Fixed saving of auto-expiration setting for Automation Rules.Added save and restore of column widths in “Downloaded Files” view.Added shutdown date/time to “Shutdown When Idle” dialog to force NMP to shutdown at a specified time, or to remain running until a specified time.Added dynamic resizing of status bar panels for better spacing on widescreen monitors.Fixed a bug in the “Top-Off Queue” scheduled task that caused a program crash when executing this task.Added an option to overwrite existing files when extracting archives during post processing.

Much as you’d be led to think otherwise following the massive rise of RSS, Usenet is still alive and kicking. This application is designed to make it quick and easy for you to read usenet feeds and access binary newsgroups.

Benefits of NewsMan include:

Clean, easy-to-use interface

Designed not only to be good-looking, but also to make browsing and downloading from Usenet easy and enjoyable. Comes with eight different Themes and is also designed to work well with third-party skinning programs like StyleXP and Windowblinds.

Full support for text and binary newsgroups

You can read text newsgroups effortlessly and store articles as long as you want in the database. NewsMan also fully supports binary newsgroups and decodes Mime, UUE and yEnc encoded messages in a separate background thread to minimize CPU usage.

Multiple Server Support

True multi-server support gives you the ability to download headers from your best, most complete news server and download articles from any servers that you have access to. Servers can be prioritized so that article bodies are downloaded from your least expensive server first. In addition, if you exclude a server from the priority list, Newsman treats it like a “private server” where headers and articles are processed only through that server.

Full support for NZB files

NZB files (www.newzbin.com ) save you time by allowing you to download binaries without retrieving headers. Newsman Pro gives you full support for NZB files by allowing you to import multiple files at once within the program. NZB messages are placed into a separate virtual group. You can also associate NZB files with Newsman Pro and Newsman will import them when you open the files in Windows Explorer.

Robust multi-threaded architecture

Downloading, header processing, attachment processing, Automation, Scheduled Tasks and Trash purging processing all happen in their own threads. Newsman can perform many tasks simultaneously allowing you to do several things at once.
