I actually now deleted my two other apps, rather pointless of keeping them on my HD

Easy to use. Fair price. Active development. Not resource demanding.

Some features I miss from SABnzdb+: the ability to search the download queue; the ability to see at a glance how old the "waiting" items are without clicking on each one individually; the ability to move an item instantly to the second position in the queue (so that I can prioritize it in a long queue without disturbing the current download); and the more advanced scheduling options in SABnzbd.
Some features I'd like: the ability to add personal notes to waiting items or to rename them; the ability to filter by "waiting for download"; and maybe some more options for the nzb search engine (e.g. categories).
None of these are deal-breakers, though. Congratulations to the developer for creating a really useful and well-designed app.

I am always open for suggestion as long as you suggest them via my issue tracker! I tend to respond to user requests and if the desired feature makes sense.
Could you add your suggestions to the issue tracker on my site?

I realise there are several neat ways to prioritize the queue, but the one I was hoping to find is something like "Right Click -> Make this nzb the next one that downloads after the current one is finished". That's easy in SABnzbd, even if the nzb is at the end of a queue that's several hundred long.
I'll take a look at the issue tracker. Thanks again.

Posting problems here solves nothing, it is clearly a local problem which I want to help you solve. Please contact me like anyone else should if you have issues.
NZBvortex is tested by lots of users with really massive nzbs and never had a problem with memory usage.
Next time contact me directly first, well figure this one out.
Contact me and we'll figure this one out; clearly a local issue.

Sorry if I gave a bad impression.
But please contact me, I would be more then happy to find and fix your issues.
Hope I didn't scare you away ;-)

I just got the idea, if it would be possible to add columns to the search-window, like it is on the original site nzbindex.nl. Maybe that view would be even clearer.
But my biggest mistake was buying NZBVortex on the Mac App Store, still have to use version 2.3.1.
Is there any possibility to convert the App Store Licence to a "normal" one so i don´t have to wait until Apple is going to release the latest version?
Finaly, excuse my bad english :-)
Glad you like the application.
This is not really the place to discuss new featured and support. Could you drop me a line at my email address?

It automatically downloads extra par files, unpacks the nzb and cleans everything up, in a simple and tidy manner.
Exchanging mails with the developer is also a very pleasant experience. He always gives a polite answer and always tries his best to help you in any way possible.
I personally think that NZBVortex is the best usenet downloader ever, and it will become better even more!

All the features I need in a nice and simple UI, looks like very OS X native.
Works perfectly on Lion with the latest version (updates come out frequently with new features and big fixes at each time)
If you need a usenet client you definitely have to take this one, you won't be disappointed.

However, I did find that it pauses the download when it detects low disk space. I had maybe 1 gb left to download, and 4 gb free on the drive. It would not resume! I'm sure the dev can fix this though.
+3
It will make sure you have around 4gb left on your system drive so osx can keep running optimal. The required free space is lower on non system drives.
Please make some space free and you should be golden. I'll make it a pref in the next release so people will not be surprised.
I like my users to have a optimal running osx so this application makes sure it will not overload the system drive.

You can alter the write cache upper limit to a lower value by doing the following
1. Quit NZBVortex
2. Open Terminal
3. Enter:
defaults write com.NZBVortex.NZBVortex WriteCacheUpperLimitSize -int 250
(change 250 to any other value you desire; it is in MBs)
4. Press enter and restart NZBVortex

defaults write com.NZBVortex.NZBVortex MinimalFreeDiskSpaceSystem -int 250

This application has an different approach to downloading from usenet.
NZBvortex hides all the technical issues like posts, threads, pars etc from the end user.
All you need to do is open a NZB file and NZBVortex will take of the rest!
So if you are looking for reading and typing messages on newsgroups; this is not that kind of an application. It's an download application for downloading files from usenet as easy and efficient as possible!

What nzbvortex can do for you:
- watch your downloads folder for new nzb's and automatically start downloading the files. (or any other folder if you like)
- ask you where you want to download the files (optional) or just save them in a subfolder in your downloads folder. Or any other location you prefer.
All the rest is done automatically, it tries to finish as soon as possible by only downloading the files it needs.
I cannot give you any specific nzb website kinks because I would break macupdate's rules. Use google to search for "nzb search" or simething similar.
Hope you'll enjoy using nzbvortex as much I did creating it!
