ngetdaemon
ngetdaemon allows quick and efficient perusing and downloading from Usenet remotely. Updating and sorting of all headers is done with one click. The strongest feature is that posts are grouped together in 'file groups', meaning a post consisting of 100 files is compacted into one line and determined to be complete, incomplete, par fills, etc. There are no pretty buttons, animations, etc. Everything is designed to create as little strain on bandwidth as possible.

Changes: An option to change the refresh speeds of the daemon stats iframe and download queue iframe was added. The "flushing headers" status was added to the queue page. The program now detects if the daemon is running and allows for it to be shutdown and restarted from the GUI. A measurement of how much RAM is used when updating headers is now shown. The number of hidden downloads with errors and the number of hidden paused files are now shown. Empty groups in graphs are now left out. Many small tweaks and fixes were made.

Changes: A 'decoding' status for when downloading files and a 'saving cache' status for when downloading headers were added. A cancelling option for when downloading headers was implemented, start and end times were added to the posts GUI, the ability to manually purge 'junk' posts waqs added, and a limit was added to SQL statements to save memory. Major speedups were achived when monitoring nget process logs (daemon and GUI). A new "gallina" style was added. The useless 'group #xxx' statements were removed from the logs and minor HTML updates and many small tweaks and fixes were made.
