I've been getting Usenet articles for sometime off and on using the leafnode/fetchnews NNTP reader. I can get the groups I want to read with no problems but fetchnews seems to go overboard, and is now trying to get *all* news out there, even some in binaries newsgroups, and if left to continue, it'll just fill up my /var/spool/news partition, which I've had to move off to a higher-capacity drive partition due to disk problems I've just started to have with a 6 year old 1.6 gig Maxtor.
I use knode to read the news, and partly because of disk problems I've had to basically reset my /var/spool/news partition and rerun fetchnews. The result - all sorts of odd groups including regional ones (se.foo.bar) and the ones I usually read I can't get to, and others that have articles in /var/spool/news (i.e., actual article files) I can't get knode to acknowledge there are articles there. Maybe it's looking at overview files that haven't been built yet, and not actually looking at the article files in the directories? Anyone here been using leafnode etc?
