NewsBin Feature List

- Usenet Decoding Methods: NewsBin can decode yEnc, uuEncoded, and Mime encoded files which
   are posted to Usenet newsgroups.
- Internet Search : Search Usenet via the Internet. Posts matching the search criteria are displayed
   and can be selected for download. Users receive 10 free searches per month. A subscription for
   unlimited searches is $5.00 per month (3 month minimum). More info...
- 64 Bit Version: A version of NewsBin built for 64 bit machines running a 64 bit Windows operating
   system is maintained. Download here...
- IPv6 Support: As news servers become available on IPv6, Newsbin is ready for it.
- Built in RAR and Split File Processing: Use the AutoPAR feature to combine RAR and Master Splitter
   files and extract the contents. Damaged or missing files are automatically repaired or replaced as
   long as enough PAR files were posted.
- SSL Encryption: If your news server supports it, NewsBin can be set so all information passed
   between your computer and the news server is encrypted.
- Security Features: Password protect NewsBin so it requires a password to start and optionally
   require a password for selected configuration options.
- NZB File Support: NewsBin will download file represented in NZB files. It can be configured to
   automatically load NZB files from a specified folder, load an NZB from a menu option, or simply
   click and drag an NZB onto NewsBin to download the files listed in the NZB file. More info...
- Newsgroup Organization: You can configure NewsBin to act on an individual newsgroup or a
   custom grouping of newsgroups.
- On-the-fly Download Prioritization: NewsBin can get the important stuff first because you can
   adjust the download queue in real time.

   download from a free server supplied by your ISP and use a pay server to fill in whatever is
   missing.
- Automatic Download Mode: Automatically download files while you sleep.

   CPUs with Hyperthreading enabled.
- Advanced Download Management: A temporary "Scratch List" is available to park posts for 
   downloading later.

   all your selected newsgroups. This way you always have the most recent headers available for 
   browsing.
- MP3 Organizer: You can use MP3 ID3V2 tags to organize download folders by albums and artist.
- Optimal Resource Management: After many iterations of optimizations, NewsBin now uses 
   significantly less RAM than previous versions. You can now load large newsgroups with 10 million 
   headers in about 150MB of RAM.

   images. There is also a built-in image viewer.
