Re: Beginner at running Inn2, looking for a peering connection for a private news server

 Hi Sirius,
 

Running Inn2 stems from my work where I want/need to keep up
with a dozen or so linux kernel mailing lists which so happens
are available via NNTP to read at nntp.lore.kernel.org. But
reading them remote was very slow, so as any self-respecting
geek, the answer was naturally to spin up Inn2 and mirror down
the lists I wanted so I have them locally with a year worth of
articles for history.

 
 Nice!
 
 

I would like to be able to get a backlog from the groups using
nntpget and a date, so that I have some light reading until
they start to fill up naturally.

 
 I would recommend the use of pullnews, which is more
 configurable and probably more used than nntpget:
