New in Binary Boy 1.97 Build 131 Beta (Jul 22, 2015)

  • When an NZB file provides more than one newsgroup for a file, Binary Boy will try each one rather than giving up after the first failed download or unknown newsgroup. When this happens, the Log tab will show "Trying alternate newsgroup." This required significant changes to the queue and the downloader logic.
