Multi Server Support
I have 1 usenet provider that provides me with 2 logins to it's servers. One for Ipv4 and one for ipv6 ... It would be nice if BinTube supported a function that would allow to create multiple server bookmarks. That way, I won't have to change the server settings everytime but could just click the other server and it would switch server setting (create server profiles).

How many of you need this, and do you think it’s worth addidng, given the complexity it will add to the config settings?

I think this feature would be very useful . For example i have two usenet server with different retentions . I would like to use them both , not simultaneously but when something doesn't exist on the primary server , to be downloaded from the backup server .

Maybe you could add different tabs (like how you did the media player, and bintube search) for the different servers.

You could just make a "Save this as Preset" button for the setting, and then store like, I dunno, upto 10 server presets? And in the main GUI for server settings a simple "Load Preset $Servername ($x)" - where $x is a number only added if more than 1 presets on the same server are stored - , it really doesn't have to confuse the GUI. People with only 1 server / preset, just use the same window as is now. Just 2 buttons will be added there. A save and a Load button (maybe with dropdown selection for Load or a popup new window, whatever looks better). I know this requires some under the hood programming of storing server settings ... But to the end user, it could be only a small diffrence in interface BUT with much added functionality :) (Take a look at Grabbit and NewsLeecher etc.)
