What is NewsCache?
|
|
|
|
NewsCache is a free cache server for USENET News available under the GNU
|
|
General Public License. NewsCache can be plugged in between your news
|
|
reader(s) and your news server. NewsCache acts to news readers like a news
|
|
server and retrieves news articles from the news server like a news
|
|
reader. Whenever, a client requests an article from NewsCache, NewsCache
|
|
checks whether the article has already been stored in the cache area. If
|
|
this is the case, the article is sent directly to its client. Otherwise,
|
|
the article is requested from the upstream news server, stored in the
|
|
cache area and sent back to the client.
