Kort na het het uitkomen van de final release van NewsBin Pro versie 6.21 is de eerste bètarelease van de opvolger alweer beschikbaar gekomen. NewsBin Pro is bedoeld om bestanden, zoals foto's, films en programma's, van usenet te halen. Deze bestanden kunnen in losse pakketjes van een of meer nieuwsservers worden gedownload en worden aan de ontvangende kant weer in elkaar gezet. Sinds versie 6.00 maakt de interface gebruik van tabs en is er een cache-to-memory-optie die, als een machine over voldoende geheugen beschikt, de constante toegang tot de harde schijf vermindert. Sinds versie 6.21 zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen doorgevoerd:
