Earlier this week Newshosting released version 1.1.0 of their popular Usenet client. Since then we’ve had a few readers ask how the new features are configured. Rather than answer via email we thought it better to share the tutorial in a post. That way others can benefit as well. We’ll be covering the steps to configure SafeSearch. Along with instructions for customizing download folders.

Configuring SafeSearch in the Newshosting Usenet Client
SafeSearch is a new feature in the Newshoting client that helps to filter out adult content. To enable the SafeSearch option from within the newsreader simply click on Options and then Settings. Then click on the SafeSearch tab. To enable SafeSearch simply check the box. The result is shown below.
Take notice of the statement at the top of the screen shot. Because “Only items of newsgroups that are explicitly marked as having adult content in them are filtered when SafeSearch is enabled. So there might still be some items in listings and search results that are considered adult content“.

Newshosting Client – Configuring Download Folder Options
You have a few options when configuring how the Newshosting client handles download folders. With some nice ways to organize downloads. To access the download folder settings once again click on Options and then Settings. Then click on the Downloads tab. The following screen will be displayed.
Take notice of the highlighted section for download folder options. Starting with the path which is configurable. Once you decide where you want downloads stored look over the additional options:
- Create subfolders for each date
- Create subfolders for each newsgroup
- Create date folders before newsgroup folders
Check the boxes based on your download folder preferences. You’ll also notice options below for controlling how the Newshosting client handles PAR2 repairs and auto-unRAR functions.
That’s all there is to it. You can easily enable the SafeSearch feature (disabled by default) and configure download folder options within a couple minutes. New members will be happy to know that the Newshosting client comes pre-configured. With addition tweaks like those above that further enhance your experience.
