Posted in Programming on January 19th, 2012 by Zoon – 4 Comments

A new very small update was just uploaded to the site. This fixes new connections issues with some servers – or most servers! I misread the RFC and used UTF8 where I was not supposed to – my bad :-(

Anyways, the download link has been updated, so pleeease download the file again :-)

NZB Completion Checker is now at version 0.9.4399.27458 (lets just stick with 0.9.4a for short :-) ).

Two things have changed in this release. The first one is rather simple. SSL Certificates that does not check out 100% is now accepted. Security wise you should be okay, no worries!

The second thing is something new.

Okay, the first update is up! Thanks to NewsGroupReviews for the bug report! This update will affect all current NZBcc 0.9a users, as it changes the location of the servers.lst file. The file will now be stored in your AppData folder. You can just move your current servers.lst file into the AppData folder, in a new folder called “NZBcc”.

NZB Completion Checker 0.9 alpha released!

Posted in Usenet on January 7th, 2012 by Zoon – 1 Comment

Oh boy, just had myself a busy few hours of coding and testing … just to please you guys :-) It was fun, and i’m not all done yet! Have a few more ideas I want to implement before NZB Completion Checker goes beta – and then hopefully 1.0 final!

The biggest news this time is multiple server support! It took a bit of time to get it working, since a whole lot of code had to be rewritten and retested. I’ve done a quick test of it all, but I’ll leave most of the checking up to you!

Well.. lets get on with the details!

Error reporting

Posted in Usenet on January 6th, 2012 by Zoon – Be the first to comment

Finally I found the time to implement a simple and secure way of reporting bugs in NZB Completion Checker. It’s very simple really. I set up a simple form on a secure site (SSL – 256 bit AES) where you can report bugs, feature requests, signup for pre-alpha releases and more. Nothing gets logged besides the data you enter into the form. There is only one mandatory field, description! You can leave the rest blank if you like – it’s really up to you! But the more info you provide, the better I can help you – and you can assist me making NZB Completion Checker a better product :-)

I’ve started using twitter again, so if you want small updates about whats happening with NZB Completion Checker, follow me on twitter! Most of the twitter updates will never hit this site, so it should be worth while for you to folow NZBcc :)

Bitcoin update

First off, thanks to all the people who donated some CPU time. Secondly, I’m sad to report that it did not pay off :-( To create a single bitcoin, it would take almost 40K visitors, who stayed on the site for more than 2½ hours. With the current rate of people donating CPU time, it would take close to 7 years to complete a single coin. With the value of bitcoins dropping like crazy, that bitcoin would probably be worth less than $1 at that time. So I’m removing the feature from the homepage. No need to waste any more CPU cycles!

It shouldn’t be more than a few days, before the next version of NZB Completion Checker is released… though, it will be an alpha relase (COULD be a bit unstable!). It will introduce a couple of new nice features :)
