De eerste alfarelease van NewsLeecher versie 6.0 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. Versie 6.0 is vooral interessant voor mensen die de SuperSearch gebruiken. Er is namelijk een nieuwe optie toegevoegd met de naam SuperLeech. Deze kan bepaalde zoekcriteria op gezette tijden herhalen, om zo bijvoorbeeld nieuwe afleveringen van televisieseries binnen te halen zodra deze beschikbaar komen.
So, what is the SuperLeech service :
This early alpha test of NewsLeecher V6.0, implements a new NewsLeecher service called "SuperLeech". The SuperLeech service is an add-on to the SuperSearch search service, and allows one to setup search queries that will automatically find and leech wanted articles off the Usenet, as soon as possible, after they have been made available online.
Currently, SuperLeech implements 3 different service modes :Say you are interested in a podcast series called "My favorite podcast series". To automatically download new episodes of the series, when they become available, simply setup a SuperLeech entry with the search query set to "My favorite podcast series" (wo. quotes) and the search method set to "Leech [ Episodes ]".
- "Leech [ All ] " Mode
This is the most basic mode. Using this mode, SuperLeech will leech *everything* matching the specified search query. This mode should only be used, if you search for very specific subjects, or you will end up having the SuperLeech service leeching way too many articles.- "Leech [ Once ] " Mode
Using this mode, SuperLeech will leech the first matching article (or article collection), that gets posted to the Usenet, after the SuperLeech entry has been activated. When a match has occurred, the SuperLeech service will make sure that no further articles are matched.- "Leech [ Episodes ] " Mode
This mode has been implemented for users, who are interested in series episodes. It can be used to automatically download new episodes for wanted series, almost as soon as they get posted to the Usenet.
SuperLeech will then detect and leech the new episodes, almost as soon as they get posted to the Usenet. Furthermore, SuperLeech will make sure that already leeched episodes are not leeched again, to avoid wasted bandwidth.
Note that the "Leech [ Episodes ]" mode, is using certain standard season and episode specific substrings in the article subjects (S##E##, ##x## and more) to detect episodes properly, so those substrings must be present for the mode to function. In most cases, though, that should not be a problem, as the majority of posted episode related articles will have that info included, as standard.
