Hi :)

We only have access to local news server when our international
bandwidth is finished. When we view articles or parts from the local
server which is cached, we get high speeds, if the articles or parts
are not cached, the speeds are extremely slow. Is there a script or
program we could use to check what is cached in the local server ?

We are desperate because we are getting robbed here because of a
telecommunications monopoly. Helppppppppppp :)

Thanks .

You will most likely have to write your own, for example using Jakarta
Commons Net which supports NNTP. I doubt though that NNTP in client
mode makes any distinction between articles available locally or not,
that's an issue better suited to a newsgroup where protocols are
discussed.
