NZBVortex 3.0.1 changelog

Back to the homepage

NZBVortex 3.0.1 brings the following changes:

[ NZBVortex Cloud ]

 

As we all know usenet gets a little harder now as downloads have weird names,  are passworded and downloads are taken offline regularly. We think we have found a solution: we will make the NZBVortex clients work together and help each other!

 

Some examples of what NZBVortex Cloud will offer:

 

  • You can now rename downloads: will be shared to other users.
  • Weird download names will automatically be renamed
  • Weird filenames will be automatically renamed 
  • Junk and spam will be detected more efficient
  • Allow you to rename download - these names are shared in the cloud
  • If a download is passworded your client will inform other clients
  • It will share well known archive password if available
  • If a download is too damaged on your usenet server(s) other clients will be informed on the same server(s)
  • No monthly fees; all included in the one-time license purchase
  • … more feature will be added in future updates

 

 

[ New and Yosemite read UI ]

 

  • A more modern and fresh looking interface which is more cleaner and focusses on the content.
  • New and fresh Icon including a progress bar in the dock while downloading
  • It introduces OS X 10.10 Yosemite-like interface even back to OS X 10.7 - we care for you guys and adding more animation in 10.9 and newer.
  • Added OS X 10.10 Yosemite specific UI design which makes NZBVortex really fit in well in OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
