SuperNZB download

v4.0 [Feb 25, 2010]
A major overhaul of the download engine has been done. Usenet servers now allow dozens of simultaneous connections. And while SuperNZB had no problem handling large numbers of connections, it did have trouble when people used more connections than their internet connection and/or computer could handle. In those cases, many time-out errors would occur, slowing down the download process. This version is designed to handle that condition much more smoothly. The moral of the story is that, gazillions of connections are mostly an advertising gimmick. In most cases, SuperNZB will max out your internet connection with only a handful. And if you see a lot of errors, you might be able to download faster by reducing the number of server connections that you are using. This overhaul will also benefit those of you using low-quality servers, as error-handling in general has been optimized.
On the Settings window, there are now options for automatic deletion of RAR & PAR files. This was surprisingly difficult to implement because newbies will often go to a site like Binsearch.info, tick a bunch of boxes, and create an NZB file containing god-only-knows-what. So, it is almost impossible to have the program automatically delete files perfectly. If you are downloading a "standard" NZB file, with the normal compliment of RARs, PARs, SFV, NFO, and SRR files, then this feature will work smoothly. Otherwise, you might see a file or two left over in the Downloads folder.
The unRARing process now preserves the folder structure inside the RAR archive. This will be especially helpful when downloading audio files. Previously, the program would just throw all of the files into the Extracted_Files folder, sometimes causing file collisions.

v3.2 [Mar 8, 2008]
"Force File Decode" command added to "Commands" menu.
