NNTP Version
My machine has 128 MB, of which squid uses 80MB
I use a 4 GB disk for the OS and
the nntpcache spool dir (only 27 MB)
and a second drive for the squid cache
My nntpcache.servers file:

I just realized that I commented news.nntpcache.org out
but left the newsgroups in. Does this make a difference?
Also news.profi.net might actually have
some of the same news groups as the others?
Does that hurt or cause bad juju?
However, even if I only access newsgroups from
profi.net the error messages occur.
We currently have about 22800 newsgroups listed,
but I block the following:
<nocem@nntpcache> * read,quick
192.168.X.X <http> read,quick
# full access for our local network
192.168.* * read,post

Thanks for helping.
