KLibido is a Linux software that allows users to retrieve usenet news through a user-friendly KDE graphical interface.
Its automatic decoding feature uses the uudeview library and supports yEnc encoding. Users may also opt to use an internal decoder. KLibido supports multiple servers with priorities and fallbacks. It also employs queue balancing, which efficiently spreads bytes load across servers with the same priority.
KLibido can handle network errors, timeouts, disconnects, and out-of-space errors with ease. It has an acceptable memory usage and can filter articles by subject and state (read, unread, complete, incomplete). KLibido's multi-tabbed interface has an "IDEAl" mode that allows users to open multiple newsgroups simultaneously.
The program also supports previewing posts (.nfo, images, etc.) via its KParts interface. Additionally, KLibido supports .nzb files, allowing for convenient management of users' download queues. Users can pause (and resume) the queue, single posts, or drag and drop items around to alter the download order. KLibido also lists finished and failed items.
Users can view progress/status of the whole post and of single articles of the post, and the progress of downloads is saved and survives program exits/crashes. The latest version introduces new features such as new options, actions, and shortcuts, a progress dialog for database migrations, and even a French translation.
In conclusion, KLibido is a well-designed Usenet file grabber with an exceptional range of features that can help users to manage their downloads with ease. Downloading with KLibido allows for speedy and efficient Usenet usage. Its regularly updated changelog reflects the continuous efforts of the developers to improve the software, making it an excellent choice for Usenet enthusiasts.
