I have a question, I was unable to find a good answer in a websearch of in the docs. How nntpcache deals with multiple servers when the servers have different groups, missing articles, varying speeds and different preference (i.e. free vs. costs money/Mb)? Ideally I'm looking for a multiplexing solution which will dynamically select the best server from which to download a given article. Does nntpcache do this? I've RTFM but my question seems to be too specific. I'm basically looking for the features of Newsplex in a Linux compatible server based solution. Newsplex: "It always uses the best server for requesting an article among those who have it, and uses one of the other servers if the best one could not deliver the article. Servers are rated dynamically according to speed, latency, and availability." Here is a review and download page for Newsplex if you want to read more: http://www.softseek.com/Internet/Newsgroup_Readers_and_Tools/Review_27445_index.html Regards, Rob -- ----------------"Linux the choice of a GNU Generation!"----------------- Robert Hardy C.E.O.
