De ontwikkelaars achter Sick Beard hebben build 473 van hun programma uitgebracht. Sick Beard kan in de gaten houden wanneer er nieuwe afleveringen beschikbaar zijn van je favorite tv-serie en of er afleveringen van betere kwaliteit te vinden zijn. Daarnaast kan het ook enige uniformiteit in de naamgeving aanbrengen en is het mogelijk om afleveringen te downloaden van usenet en in mindere mate via BitTorrent. Het programma wordt vanuit een webbrowser aangestuurd en kan daardoor op elk willekeurig besturingssysteem worden gebruikt. De ontwikkeling bevindt zich nog in een vroeg stadium en het programma wordt dan ook nog als alfa aangeboden. Het changelog van deze release ziet er als volgt uit:
Changelog for build 473

- Remove backlog frequency setting and hardcode it to 21 days

- W3C: Validation fixes.
- W3C: Markup changes for validation purposes.
- Removed erroneous #. W3C: Markup changes so it would validate. Replaced & with &
- Changed sickbeard's doctype from HTML 4.0 to XHTML 1.0 Transitional. Eventually I'd like to get the code over to XHTML 1.0 Strict but there is plenty of things to fix just going to Transitional. The code is already closer to being xhtml valid than it was html 4.0 valid. For example, using the short hand method to end tags /> was already heavily used. Started to clean up things to make the page validate. Converted HREF target="_new" to the proper onclick= javascript method since target attribute isn't valid (although still supported).

- Give more visual space between day separator as requested by Midget.
- Made the logging pages slightly more streamlined.
- IE Fix: Fix alignment issue caused by inherit centering.
- Fixed background image path for poster/banner for coming episodes page.
- Resized the default poster.png to the new size. Fixed CSS for banner default image also.
- IE Fix: Added NOWRAP to airdate field in the backlog overview
- IE Fix: Several CSS changes
- IE Fix: Fix alignment problem from inherited centering.
- Fix path for scroll to top image so that the config section can use it.
- Fix encoding bugs during Newzbin searches
