Bèta 6 van NewsLeecher versie 5.0 is beschikbaar gekomen. Met dit programma is het mogelijk om op een eenvoudige manier bestanden uit nieuwsgroepen te downloaden. Het programma ondersteunt nzb-bestanden, beschikt over een SuperSearch, en kan gedownloade bestanden automatisch op integriteit en volledigheid controleren en vervolgens zelfstandig uitpakken. Nieuw in versie 5.0 is onder andere dat er tabs zijn toegevoegd aan de SuperSearch. Verder is er nu een SuperSearch Watchdog en is men druk bezig de gebruikersinterface beter te maken. Het changelog voor bèta 6 laat de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen zien:
