[leafnode-list] Re: large volume (binary) groups



nntpcache is better for binaries groups. It caches the overviews, and only downloads and caches the body when a user asks for it. Unfortunately development has stopped since Julian Assange became involved with other projects.

Leafnode doesn't handle binary groups well?

"Leafnode was not made for binary newsgroups. It is a "private" news-

online, store and read them offline)."

Could it be possible to have two different leafnode servers running, one
for binary groups?  Or, is INN the better tool for grabbing binaries?  I
have a slower broadband connection, and don't mind large download so long
as they're in the background and not, for instance, holding up leafnode
getting gmane text mailing list groups or something.



thanks,
