hellaGUI / News: Recent posts

v1.1.1 just fixes a problem with the GUI relative to the user's font size.

Well ... A new year, lots of free time, so here it is : the new, improved, still very cluttery version of hellaGUI.

Nice new features and under-the-hood tuning. It should now take 1 or less percents of your CPU power, as it doesn't update the, now complete, queue list on every update anymore and as it's calling the XML-RPC daemon instead of parsing hellanzb's text output.

This also means that I can show more informations about the current download, and that the display changes when hellanzb is correcting or decompressing files.... read more

A GTK/python frontend to the news leecher "hellanzb" providing most functionalities available from the "hellanzb daemon" and Drag and Drop file-enqueuing.Hellanzb can be obtained through your distro's package manager or at http://www.hellanzb.com

(nearly forgot : merry christmas everybody!)

Anyway, planed features for V1.1 :

* ALL queued NZBs in a scrollable area
* Add a "start/stop daemon" button
* Pulsating progressbar during processing (hellaGUI looks like hellanzb can't connect during processing at the moment)
* A button to open the download directory
* A hellanzb configuration editor... read more
