The thing I disliked about leafnode was the thousands of directories that
it made. You can get rid of these by altering actsync.ctl so that the
groups are never made. For instance I kill off all the microsoft groups
:-) and those in languages a don't understand. I then setup newsx to only
download those newsgroups that I'm, interested in.
The big catch is that you have to edit some files to alter which
newsgroups you download and I also never seem to see which new groups are
created.
