I believe I determined that nntpcache will use the FIRST server (and ONLY the first which is my current problem) which matches for any given newsgroup. If the first fast but low retention server has the groups you want in its active file you will have to explicitly tell nntpcache what is acceptable to take from the first server i.e. !alt.*. I would imagine such a configuration item must be in the manual. Regards, Rob -- ----------------"Linux the choice of a GNU Generation!"----------------- Robert Hardy C.E.O.
