Jason Stevens scripsit: Client-server, as opposed to peer-to-peer, NNTP support is very expensive and painful at large scale, which is probably why Google doesn't provide it (disclaimer: I work for them, but not on Groups, and I don't know anything about Groups that isn't public knowledge). AFAIK no one has ever written an event-driven NNTP server that suppots NNTP reader mode; even innd spawns a separate process when contacted by a non-peer. -- You're a brave man!
