Roll on 1.5 those are the features i long for the most...
Especially:

+ Scheduled group updating.

This can save soooooooo much time than having to wait for busy groups to load headers each time u have to manually update a group.

Try to add this sooner Wink

For features just look at bnr its the most complete binary downloader and its features outway even newsleecher. Its main problem is that it gets very slow when you give it a lot to do. eg download headers from a big group and have a large download queue (like a couple of dvd's). Importing a large ammount of nzb files makes it slow to a crawl i'm not talking about the transfer speed. All that even tho i have a fast computer. It's like watching a 30fps movie that has slowed to 2fps. Of course newsleecher works much faster and is mostly immune to slowdown of this kind.

Combine articles with, almost, same subject for easier overview feature

I would like to get that feature and so that it would allow downloading thread of items but i guess that feature to work best it would require threaded messagelist :) bnr3 has that feature and few other readers.

First, <Off topic> Hi to everyone on the forum</Off topic>

I really need a bandwidth throttle, I am a very heavy binaries downloader but I have to share the bandwidth with my family and they are all very annoyed with me hogging all the bandwidth (oops) Wink

Scheduled bandwidth throttling so that I could for example set NL to download unthrottled between midnight and 7am and then half the speed after 7

Have a list with all these time "filters" add a filter give start time select the throttle (None, Variable or Paused) and what days in the week it applies

I have a question, could there be an option in one of the next releases of newsleecher to auto-reset my connection after just 1 minute, cause my connection often gives an authenticate problem, but after a minute or so this is over, so 5 minutes is a bit too long for this.

I hope you understand what a mean, cause my english isn´t that good.

I'd like a "Save incomplete parity file" option (right click menu in download queue)

rather wait for an entire 15M parity file to download for 1 recovery block you could save the partially downloaded par2 file to it's designated dl folder and then Quickpar (or whatever) can get to work with out waiting
(those on slower connections would probably love this option)

these files would be left in the download queue paused (so that if you misjudge the amount of download needed you can resume that file)

thanks techfuzz for the netlimiter, you're a life saver (literally my computer was being forcibly turned off by my family, you've saved my HDDs Very Happy

)

Make downloaded file combination code multithreaded to prevent freezes.

How about moving this to the top of the to do list. Everytime a file is combined, downloads stop for 5 seconds or more. Never had this problem with any other newsreader. Super search is nice, but until this is fixed, I'll be sorry I actually paid for this newsreader.
