GrabIt is an easy to use and familiar looking user interface - Care has been taken to make the downloading of binaries as fast and easy as possible.
What's New in This Release:
- New cache format to incorporate Message-IDs (Note: Cache files are NOT compatible with previous releases!);
- Tightened the filename filter a bit to solve some illegal file/foldername issues;
- Improved error feedback in Read article form;
- New date format conversion routine can also convert dates with short year notation (eg. 03 for 2003);
- Solved the exception errors that some people reported while closing GrabIt;
- Batch Import button in Batch screen allows the import of NZB files directly into the batch;
- Batch Import button in Batch screen allows the import of BNS (binnews.com) files directly into the batch;
- Auto shutdown feature now waits until all items are decoded / processed before shutting down the system;
- Tweaked the compression of the cache file to optimize for speed instead of size;
- New 'Download Folder' button in the batch tab will open your download folder;
- Some general optimizations;
- Changed the main font of the controls in the application to Arial;
- Added the possibility to change the font of the views (Groups, Articles, Batch, All Groups);
- Added "Grab to folder first" and "Grab with prefix first";
- Added a new option in the batch popup menu to download a batch item from a different server;
- Incomplete items are now saved with .(Incomplete Grab). in the
filename. Peter B. Clements added support for this into Quickpar 0.9 so
these files will be recognized;
- GrabIt Search makes it possible to search Usenet without downloading headers or using XPAT
