For those who haven’t tried NZBVortex here is your chance. The NZB Usenet downloader was first released on February 12th and has been updated several times since including the latest release – 0.7.0 on April 30th.
NZBVortex supports Mac OSX version 10.5.0 and later. There are very few Mac newsreaders on the market (SABnzbd, Unison, Hogwasher, Hellanzb) so having another join the group is a nice addition. NZBVortex offers a free version and a full featured version for $9 which includes support.
Here is the 0.7.0 release information from the NZBVortex site:
Version 0.7.0 released – April 30th, 2010
This version adds support for accented characters in filenames, Cleanup files after download, supports moving the completed files to another location (temp/complete folders) and the option for you to manually start postprocessing of downloads.
This release has a lot of other fixes and tweaks mainly for low occurance issues.
