When I use the leech and put them in the queue
I change the folder for the download by right clicking on it, and that works fine.
But when it's unrarring, it is putting the files in my original download folder, and not in my custom folder where i changed it to.

so I can only...

Dear Santa,

Give me a book about C++/C#/Python and explain to me the way newgroups work and how people behave around them. And make it possible for me to download Fruityloops and Ableton so that I can make music and become famous. And last but not least: Make some hot chick fall in love with...

I have seen a few topics related, but all were based on extract not straight download.

I agree it would be a great help if there was the option to generate the download directory from the NZB file. I generally try to create the NZB files by either posters name or modified posted subject, but...

For me, this most important search feature that is missing from SuperSearch & SuperLeech is the ability to specify that a string must NOT be part of a larger string, i.e. whole word match required. While searching for one word titles can still be problematic, at least eliminating all of the...

Strange question maybe, but some sort of integration with sonarr / couchpotato, would be a very nice option.

The new deobfuscation feature makes this a possibillity.

I'm not so surprised of NL v8

Because nowadays the number of newsgroup articles is growing and growing, and impossible to load all article headers in memory.
I had more expected in 2019, that NL v8 got a new database structure.

I wonder, when NL will kick out of the current database, and...

Hi,

I will probably have to wait longer then 25th of December for this present but hope it will be considered in a future version. :D

Just came from v7 Final and tried the Beta3. Had to get used to the new interface a little but I have to say, I like it.
My compliments to the hole team!...

Hey, I've been a subscriber for over a decade and just wanted to thank the team. Just switched over to the new beta and it's quite nice. Servers been temperamental lately but I still appreciate the work you guys do. Just wanted to balance some of the grief I see on these forums.

First, I *LOVE* the new de-obfustication feature, but...

It would be great if the de-obfusticated name was retained somewhere along with the file(s). Right now, all I see are folders and files with the same de-obfusticated names after the messages have been removed from my download queue....

Could you please put the time remaining and speed display back down at the bottom like it used to be in v7? It used to be
easy to see at a glance. Now the time remaining is in tiny writing in the top left corner.

Hi,
I don't know if this has been asked before, but since there is the possibility of a new release:-

Then i would like santa to bring me buttons next to, or instead of, the 'cleanup' button. To which i can assign specific search criteria.

IE. Button1- 'search string1' Button2- 'search...

Many of the mega newsservers are freely accesable via IPv6. (e.g. try newszilla6.xs4all.nl) However no major newsreader supports this protocol (or actually AAAA DNS record lookup). That is except for Linux based newsreaders like PAN. Clearly this is a feature that any future release of newsleecher...

Hi,

I found it very useful when NL supported extracting RAR passwords from NZB file names, like {{ABCXYZ}}

However, i think the way the extraction works is very inefficient.
For example, when I add like 20 NZB files with passwords to the download queue, NL puts the passwords in the temporary...

I often run into binary posts where after Newsleecher (I'm using the latest beta as of Dec 8, 2012) auto-unRars them, I'm left with many split files that are numbered like so MyVideoFile.wmv.000 (this file is usually tiny and may be an info file of some kind), then MyVideoFile.wmv.001,...

If (when) the NL database and/or index files get corrupted, there appears that there is no way to scan and repair the files. There is no equivalent to chkdsk c: /f which repairs disk index errors, for example. Or other database scan & repair options.

See thread:

The database corruption...

Clearing search box and search filter box by doubleclick into the boxes.

That would be fine.

So, I'll be honest here, I only keep NL around because SuperSearch is still great. At this point though, I've long since moved to other apps to handle the download portion. I think it would be fantastic(and much less work for you) if you just produced a program whose purpose was to be an interface...

Reality - 2,240 days

Why?

In addition to the list of fixed RAR passwords known to NewsLeecher, allow a combination of fixed characters and variables. One variable should be the filename, another might be the poster's name and there may be others. So you might have a password like:
19 +%filename%

It might also be useful...

I know that we can save some passwords for encrypted RAR files, but I wasn't able to figure out how to ask newsleecher to try using the RAR filename as a password. For example, if the full file name is 18102034.rar try using 18102034 as the password. I have found that quite a few files are...

Please add functionality for NL to automatically inspect NZB headers and look for a password entry in the meta data. Many obfuscated releases now include the pwd in there.

Header looks something like:

<nzb xmlns= >
<head>
<meta type= name...

In the group list under the Manager tab, add a field to show if the group is indexed or not.

Sometimes I accidentally tell NL to do something that will take a long time, such as when I intend to delete a large block of headers but hit the Enter key instead (they're next to each other on my numeric keypad) and NL starts to download them all. I want to stop it but that takes several steps...

When updating headers in many groups, the large number can overload NewsLeecher and bring it to a standstill. Many headers are spam (e.g. 774 byte headers) and sometimes I want to get headers only from a particular poster and reject the rest. After the download (often having to kill NL with Task...

I'm not sure set is the correct term but I'm talking about one line containing several files with a + sign that can be clicked on to expand to show the individual files.

Suppose that under the Articles tab I have a large number of headers and I want to download all of the primary par2 files...

Other programs have this ability - eg QBitTorrent - so why doesn't Newsleecher.
Surely we could have an option to either:
Stay Active
Exit Program
Run another Program
Shutdown the PC.

It's a pain in the proverbial having the computer on all night just because newsleecher is sitting there...

Hi,

Can you add a tab for reading text articles inside Newsleecher, instead of opening a text editor? If so, you might add Previous and Next buttons to read corresponding articles as sorted in Articles tab.

I wish for a new final version of newsleecher.

Hi Newsleecher,

First of all; great software!

I am really missing only one simple feature. Under I'd like to see something like a 'Open destination folder' option in the right-click menu on a file set.
Basicly the same option as 'Go to Dl folder' under the tab.

Peace!

The file location for extract/repair can be specified in the settings to a subdir depending on the subject name.
However you cannot specify de name of the nzb file as name of the subdirectory.
This can be a very usefull option, because you know what should be in the NZB file, because the subject...

It'd be pretty nice if we could specify a category(or even better, pick from a configurable drop down of categories) when exporting to NZB. I've found for various reasons (performance, and only having to maintain automatic filing of things) it's great to use Newsleecher to locate things, but export...

I find myself unable to download articles that come back in SuperSearch results because NewsLeecher reports Article not found. I am using the newleecher servers as well as SuperSearch, so I thought they would be in sync with each other. Apparently that is not true.

I wish that the search...

Did you already try the advanced search within Newsleecher? (click the symbol on the right hand side of the search input)

Great idea @astrouga

I would like a sortable column to retrieve the input order in the queue.
I know it must be complicated to add with the options to put small files or RARs on the top of the queue but it would be great for me.

Another great options should to be able to change, on the fly, the mode of rename...

I would like to see the following in NL version 8.0

- an option to hide the news side from the News & Log tab. This could be added to the advanced tweaks page.
This would help to better overview the logging details in the application window.

- add DATE ! output to the log. There is only...

not related to newsleecher, advertise a software not related to usenet

Would it be possible to add a feature that would allow you to place a stop mark on the queue to have the queue stop after downloading that file.

I know this can be done by changing the articles to paused, but doing it that way makes it so you have to go through and highlight the non-par2...

Every so often the download queue can get corrupt. If this happens and the queue contains a lot of entries then this can be a real pain to resolve. Attempts to export the download queue to a NZB will probably fail and most of the time once the reported entry is deleted the next entry will then be...

Long time user of Newsleecher, love the product.
However, I would like to see the following added/improved:

1. Add a way to specify a password on leech. Add option right-click - leech with password and let me enter a password. The ultimate would be to save the password in SuperLeech so that...

See title ^_^

This will be great, scenario:

1 - Enter your high-school with a 1000mbit connection.
2 - Mount urself behind a fast pc ( a 4 ghz, 2gig ram wil do )
3 - Plug in your usb2.0 uberleet 500+ gig ext. harddrive.
4 - ** run newsleecher without install ** <-- important part (...

I second this request and like to bump the post for developers' attention.

I am a long time NL user currently seeking refuge in Sab**** solely because obfuscated rar-file names, please consider adding detect renamed as part of verification, at least as an option if that consumes too much CPU...

A previous post asked santa for a Windows mobile app.
So I checked if anyone had already requested an app for Android.

The last request was back in 2011.
Mentioning Nzb Leech as temporary fix.

It does work, but is rather crude.
I'ld like to be able to take Newsleecher with me beyond my...

I have seen this request for Super Search, but it would be helpful to be able to exclude newsgroups from both the super search and super leech services. I have a pretty extensive collection of super leech entries that I download on a regular basis. Recently, super leech has been downloading many...

Hi,

For the next release it would be nice if it was possible to create a whitelist for certain exe files that are in rar files.
The website via which I download have a little exe inside their rars for reversing the name of the enclosed file.
Now my download stops everytime it is detected....

Would it be possible to add a features that can detect and fix misnamed files in PAR2 sets.

Currently using 7.0 Final so guess this would need to be added to first 8.0 Beta

Thanks

It would be very handy if once SuperLeech (SL) finds something it will push it to the top of the download queue, reason being i have a very slow download speed (4mbit) and sometimes by the time my SL entires have started to be downloaded they are gone already, i suspect i'm not the only one who...

Lately due to the length of post titles I have been getting a lot of file name too long error boxes, why does newsleecher just bug out and basically stop processing the que? That seems stupid when you consider that super leech is adding new stuff to the queue all the time.

Can newsleecher be...

IT would be amazing, and keeping with modern computing standards, to implement some cloud-based features.

Syncing of SL entries/settings
Syncing of application settings
Syncing of queue

I think features like this are essential, and I'd be willing to pay more for them! [-o<
