Ilan Shemes heeft een nieuwe bètarelease van GrabIT uitgebracht. Dit programma is in staat om bestanden uit nieuwsgroepen te downloaden. Bestanden die opgesplitst zijn in meerdere kleine files worden daarbij automatisch bij elkaar gevoegd tot het originele bestand. GrabIT is gratis te gebruiken, maar alleen geregistreerde gebruikers hebben ongelimiteerde toegang tot de GrabIt Usenet Search en GrabIt Usenet Browser, met meer zoekresultaten en een langere historie. Nieuw in deze release is onder andere ondersteuning voor ssl-verbindingen, is de snelheid van het decoderen enorm verbeterd en is er veel tijd gestoken in het verhelpen van bugs. Hieronder is het volledige changelog voor versie 1.7.2 bèta te vinden:
