Read about the changes and download here. Several known issues havebeen resolved including the every popular "please let it count over 4GB forthe download list queue" request. Wehave just released version 4.06B1 for testing. Ifyou have a Linksys BEFSR11, 31, or 41 router, you could be vulnerable to adenial of service attack if your firmware rev is below 1.42.7. We plan to make therelease tonight (EST). Tocounter recent attacks to the newsgroups, we are making modifications in version4.06B2 to filter out bogus posts meant to throw awrench in automatic downloaders such as NewsBin. Read about thefixes and download the beta here. This release is has a significant logic change so it isonly recommended for more seasoned users or users who have been affected by thetainted posts in the mp3 and vcd groups (among others). Version4.06B2 has special logic to filter out bogus posts meant to throw awrench in automatic downloaders such as NewsBin. Hopefully, it willnot affect non-VIA motherboards that do not have this problem. We have made a modification to Version 4.06B3 thatshould fix this problem (software to fix the hardware). We'vehad reports from people running VIA motherboards that files they download aregetting corrupted. Read more and download the new release here. It may feel a little snappier than the betas so it is worthupgrading. It is basically version 4.06B3 but rebuilt inrelease mode. We hopeto have a public beta release early next year.

Wehave received word that a new type of attack on the binary groups is messingwith NewsBin's logic to automatically combine parts of multi-part posts. Someone is posting a bogus part after a multipart post has been posted that ourcountermeasures do not catch.
This version shouldcorrectly combine mulitipart posts after the sabotage attempts on somenewsgroups. Shouldhave a new release tomorrow.Ībeta version of 4.1 is now available for download. Ourforum users just found a new type of attack that 4.1B1 does not handle. We're working on putting in more smarts to address this as well. We should get a newrelease out by the end of this week.
