I'm using alt.binz 0.24.2. Nuthin' better!
Is there any reason to move to a newer ver?
Has the Binsearch/Newzleech search stuff been fixed?
TIA
..hh
After version 0.25.0, Altbinz isn't freeware anymore.
In that 0.25.0 version just one search engine is still working, others
aren't because of changed data-output from the engines which Altbinz can't
interpreting.
The latest version is 0.28.3, all the search engines are working, but
Altbinz isn't freeware anymore.
You have to make an one-time donation for the current and future versions.
