KLibido 0.2.5

KLibido is a graphical Usenet file grabber for KDE. KLibido supports multiple server, multiple download threads per server, .nzb files, queue management, etc...

Here are some key features of "KLibido":

· Automatic joining of multi-part posts
· Automatic decoding of posts, using the uudeview library (yEnc supported) or an internal decoder
· Multiple servers support, with priorities and fallback if an article fails on a server and is present on another server
· Queue balancing: KLibido spreads the bytes load across servers with the same priority
· Multiple download threads per server support, with the ability to add or remove threads "on the fly"
· Gracefully handles network errors, timeouts, disconnects and out-of-space errors
· Acceptable (at least, by me :) memory usage (80-100 MB VMRss with several large groups open)
· Filter articles by subject and state (read, unread, complete, incomplete)
· Multi tabbed interface in IDEAl mode, to open multiple newsgroups at once
· KParts interface for previewing posts (.nfo, images, etc...) inside the program
· .nzb support
Download queue management:
· Pause (and resume) the queue
· Pause (and resume) the single posts
· Drag and drop the items around to change the download order
· Cancel download
· Lists of finished and failed items
· Granularity, with the ability to see the progress/status of the whole post and of the single articles of the post
· The progress of the download is saved and survives program exits/crashes
