Alex Birj heeft onlangs Usenet Explorer voorzien van een update naar versie 1.7.4. Met dit dit programma kunnen bestanden van Usenet worden gedownload. Er is ondersteuning voor meerdere servers en threads, nzb-bestanden, virtuele groepen en uitgebreide filtermogelijkheden. In deze release is onder andere het probleem opgelost om nzb-bestanden met Usenet Explorer te associëren onder Windows Vista. Het volledige changelog laat de volgende veranderingen zien:
Changes in version 1.7.4:[break]De volgende downloads zijn beschikbaar:
- handled nzb file association issue in windows vista (edit menu -> properties -> general -> import/search, associate with import file extensions). first administrative permissions are needed for UE to associate the extension since the affected registry area in vista is restricted and secondly when associating files from windows explorer a new overriding other registry settings entry is now present in the registry which hasn't been in the prior windows systems.
- Scheduler (edit menu -> properties -> scheduler) has now its own download/upload bandwidths for both active and inactive intervals (in the latter case with the possibility to suspend tasks as in the past) instead of using regular bandwidth for inactive intervals (unless "suspend tasks" had been checked).
- warning added on the program start and when the user marks something for save (or download&save etc) and the save queue had been suspended earlier to avoid confusion why e.g. attachments are not saved, now the prompt how unsuspend save queue is given (i.e. to uncheck tasks menu -> suspend save queue).
- "cancel save" in the save pane of the task manager is now enabled.
