A little note: Home site for Nuntius is frederik.ruc.dk (129.142.144.26), /pub Source and v1.1a2 is avaible from it. v1.1a2 is much better than 1.0 and seems stable. About "disk eating": Size depends on how many groups you read and how long your server keeps the articles. Shouldn't grow for ever, but is usual 1M - 3M. I'm going (in 1.2, but most is done in 1.1) for sharing 90% of the data among several people. So the size should not be a problem for most people in the future. I can't reduce the space needed. As Peter Cohon wrote, Nuntius needs theese files to be speedy when updating groups. Otherwise it will have to start from scratch. The type and names of the folders are different in 1.0 and 1.1a2, the latter has the .newsrc separated from the database to make it able to share the files. I have to drop development on it for 1-2-3 months, but I will come back and get 1.1 final. Peter Speck
