De derde bètarelease van NewsBin Pro versie 6.50 is uitgekomen. Met dit programma kunnen bestanden - zoals foto's, films en programma's - van usenet worden gehaald. Nieuw in versie 6.50 is onder meer een Watch-functie, waarmee naar specifieke content uitgekeken kan worden bij het ophalen van de headers. Ook kan het uitpakken van de download naar een andere locatie worden gedaan dan waar deze in eerste instantie wordt opgeslagen. De volledige release notes zien er als volgt uit:
