    The website was very sluggish at the beginning of the week, then it just
    quit working.

    The rest isn't working too. Maybe the service hasn't been paid for as
    the original operator died.

    go-pugleaf is not released yet.

    I'm testing, and fixing bugs, so you don't have to.

    webserver and fetcher works great but nntp-server has quirks.
    history and hashdb have performance and memory issues.
    both disabled and there is no central db for message-ids.
    reading via nntp-server works but only group->artnum.
    posting or peering does not exist yet...
    and the fetcher eats memory when sucking with hundreds of conns :D

    Source will appear here anytime soon: https://pugleaf.net
    or https://github.com/go-while/go-pugleaf (repo is still private)

    If you want to run it anyways: hit IRC!

    To go nuts with 500-1000 conns and download all usenet:
    CPU 1-4 cores and 16G ram is mostly fine (more is better).
    SSD preferred but runs well on trad drives too.

    You should know how to walk in terminal and manage a server.
    go-pugleaf is native Go and compiles for any OS/arch:
    Linux, Mac and Windows too but I've tested on Linux only.
    It runs as unprivileged user. no root access needed to run it.
