Overview of Newsfish
Newsfish is a specialized batch Usenet news reader that utilizes the Network >News Transfer Protocol (NNTP). It is designed to help users efficiently manage >and filter Usenet articles based on specific criteria.
Key Features of Newsfish
Batch Processing: Newsfish scans unread articles in bulk, allowing users to
process large volumes of data at once.
Filtering: Users can define specific criteria for filtering articles, ensuring
that only relevant content is saved.
Storage Format: The articles that match the user-defined criteria are saved in
mbox-style files, which are easy to view and manage.
How Newsfish Works
Connection: Newsfish connects to Usenet servers using NNTP, which is the
standard protocol for accessing Usenet.
Scanning: It scans for unread articles and applies the user-defined filters to
identify relevant content.
Saving: Matching articles are saved in a structured format, making it
convenient for users to access and read them later.
This functionality makes Newsfish a valuable tool for users who want to >streamline their Usenet reading experience while ensuring they only receive >articles of interest.

Dear Jesse Rehmer:

Thanks for BlueWorld Hosting. I appreciate it very much! I am also
grateful for this quoted article.

Newsfish does not have a problem during most of the times when I use
it (with BlueWorld Hosting (and all servers)). I do not normally use
Newsfish for news:sci.electronics.design which is a very big group.

So far as BlueWorld Hosting can see, is there still an active Newsfish
session running on Insomnia247.NL since
Thu Mar 19 07:53:21 PM CET 2026
?

top says
"1249073 glouces+ 20 0 9056 1632 1520 S 0.0 0.0
0:20.21 newsfish"
for this session since days ago: i.e. days ago its Insomnia247.NL CPU
time was also 0:20.21 as it is today.

I wonder if it is almost a zombie, or if it is downloading loads of
headers which it filters out and it has not yet found anything to keep
(this filter is for it to keep only
* ^Date:.*2026
whereas when I normally use Newsfish for small groups I normally try
to download all of a group's articles (i.e.
* .*
)). Maybe it is less inefficient to download everything!

Sorry if I am wasting your time or other resources!

Likewise for me, including BlueWorld Hosting. I am suspecting various incompatible theories as to what I should do about trying to download sci.electronics.design articles from this year - e.g. stop Newsfish

complete its current attempt.

Thanks for this quoted article too.

recommend using any popular newsreader (i use 40tude dialog) to download overview headers in "sci.electronics.design" from any popular newsserver
with solid article retention: neodome (~787 days), netfront (~2159 days), paganini (~2486 days), csiph (~3962 days), blueworld (~44.x years), sort
by date, and select only the articles you want to download . . . however,
if there are many hundreds of articles or more to download then it would
be wise to download them in smaller batches, might take hours, even days
if you have thousands of articles that you expect to download, so before downloading anything from any newsgroup i would strongly recommend using filters/scoring on xover headers to minimize troll/spam before proceding, whitelisting non-robot/non-troll contributors also helps to be selective,
that puts far less burden on the newsservers and makes usenet worthwhile

From Newsgroup: alt.free.newsservers

So this is an update about good news about using excellent BlueWorld
Hosting to download sci.electronics.design (i.e. a huge active
group).

A conclusion is that Newsfish is less slow when not filtering.

Various viable hypotheses exist to explain why I had failed to archive
from this group during a previous attempt, such as:
* Newsfish filtering may be MORE INefficient than simply downloading
an entire group;
* some unknown problem on Insomnia 24/7 (that used to run Newsfish);
* some unknown problem on BlueWorld Hosting;
or
* who knows?

Jesse Rehmer reported that BlueWorld Hosting has not detected that
Newsfish was still running on Insomnia 24/7. Insomnia 24/7 confirms
that at approximately the same time Newsfish was not still running on
it - because at approximately this time Insomnia 24/7 was becoming
rebooted (and being assigned a new IP address).

So I did not kill Newsfish because I had to start it again anyway!

I started this new Newsfish job at circa
Fri Apr 10 09:14:02 PM CEST 2026
and it became finished at circa
Fri Apr 17 12:55:40 PM CEST 2026
so it took slightly more than 7 days.

sci.electronics.design_attempt_on_BlueWorldHosting_on_April_10th_2026.mbox.txt is sized 2.6G.

Alpine reports that sci.electronics.design_attempt_on_BlueWorldHosting_on_April_10th_2026.mbox.txt has 877,474 messages, whereas circa 5 hours later at circa
Fri Apr 17 06:01:06 PM CEST 2026
Alpine found 856,047 articles in the same group on the same server. I
do tend to find that Alpine finds slightly fewer articles in a group
than Newsfish does.

Using Alpine to select only articles matching a particular string in
their From: fields in this 2.6G mbox is slow. Spending a week to
download 2.6G of a newsgroup when I am actually searching for only 2
articles (both of which became composed during this year) is overkill,
but Newsfish's filtering does not seem to speed things up much and
could be slower than downloading an entire group. Cf. on January 7th,
2026, Newsfish completed downloading 726K from a less active group
from BlueWorld Hosting in circa 21 hours. Its filter is
* ^Date:.*2025

Sorry about that everyone... unexpected maintenance that has now completed.

HEADS UP: I will be taking down the current archive and will be replacing it with a much deeper archive over the coming days. This operation could take several days to more than a week to complete.

The result should be a (mostly) complete archive from 1981 forward.

At circa 1 second before Fri Apr 10 08:45:09 PM CEST 2026, Insomnia
24/7 said:
"uptime
20:44:54 up 1 day, 5:50, 35 users, load average: 1.13, 0.73, 0.53".
So many theories exist as to why an earlier attempt to download
articles from only the Year 2026 from sci.electronics.design
failed. E.g. maybe Insomnia 24/7 was rebooted too soon.
