Alex Birj heeft vlak voor het weekend versie 2.2 van Usenet Explorer uitgebracht. Met dit programma kunnen bestanden van usenet worden gedownload. Er is ondersteuning aanwezig voor het gelijktijdig downloaden van tekst en bestanden via meerdere servers en threads. Verder biedt Usenet Explorer de mogelijkheid om nzb-bestanden te laden en uitgebreide filtermogelijkheden te gebruiken. Sinds versie 2.0 kan het programma par-bestanden automatisch afhandelen, waardoor verifiëren, repareren en uitpakken een stuk eenvoudiger is geworden. In versie 2.2 zijn voornamelijk aanpassingen doorgevoerd die door gebruikers zijn aangedragen:
Changes in version 2.2:[break]De volgende downloads zijn beschikbaar:
- Recent folders entry has been added to the unpack main menu, the toolbar and modified&custom browse for folders dialogs.
- Ssl code has been recomplied with zlib code to enable zlib compression for zlib aware servers which may increase header download speed. zlib aware ssl servers are shown with yellow lock and the rest with dark cyan lock on the server icon.
- Article tasks now are optionally disengaged from disabled servers. the option is enabled by default, properties->tasks, disengage article tasks from disabled servers. it prevents stuck pending tasks waiting for disabled servers to become reenabled.
- When download becomes repairable and there are pending tasks on disabled servers or servers with maximal number of tasks set to zero - unpack will take over instead of waiting for the user-incapacitated servers.
- Proper prompts are given when disabling a server will affect article tasks or when there are no active destination servers for the group so marking for download doesn't result in any action.
- Compact binary groups are now much friendlier with threads enabled as to threaded binary (mal)posts (a weird posting mode in power post), when marking for download if an entry is moved into a thread - the thread is automatically expanded, so it doesn't look like the entry disappeared from the view.
- Create folder prompt is now optional (edit menu -> properties -> general -> miscellaneous).
- A number of other improvements.
