Bètarelease 17 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 de download worden uitgepakt naar een andere locatie dan waar deze in eerste instantie wordt opgeslagen. Sinds bèta 15 zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:
