mmm... Newzbot tracks a multitude of servers which are free and have a lot of groups, but the thing is they don't tend to stay around very long, as the owners of the servers realize that the entire world is using them

They must be the reason so many people try to connect to my machine for news. (Well until my IP changed recently). A while back I had forgotten to limit my caching news server to my LAN, and noticed some other poeple using it. Even after closing it off, the logs kept showing denied connection requests from all over the place.
