NZB Drop 1.0

I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of Asar’s latest software project. NZB Drop is a sophisticated Usenet downloading utility, specifically designed to work with .nzb files, a new file format used to identify binaries posted to Usenet newsgroups. Used in conjunction with a growing number of Usenet search engines, NZB Drop allows you to download the content you want directly, without having to wade through thousands of headers to find what you’re looking for.

Key features:

- Excellent multi-server support
- Blazing fast, with up to 100 connections
- Flexible download queue
- iTunes integration for audio/video downloads

To help find the content you want and generate NZB files, start here:

Welcome to Asar’s new blog.

After being holed up coding for much too long, I’m pleased to put the tired old web pages to rest with the launch of this new site. I don’t claim to be much of a web designer, but hopefully this is a bit of an improvement. Please do let me know what you think.

As I’m still figuring out XHTML and CSS, not to mention Wordpress, you’ll have to bear with me as I work out all the kinks. If there are any glaring problems please let me know.
