Hi guys. www.nfilter.org doesn't seem to respond. I have been trying to
get it for two days. Does anyone have it where I can download it?

There was a wrecker who was hosting it, but I tried downloading it and it
was corrupted... said the install wasn't a valid Win32 application.

Thanks,
Mike

Yep, nfilter went away. I have a copy of the self-extracting installation file
at http://www.milmac.com/np-120.exe .

I had the same problem. When you download it is is named np-120.exe.
That is wrong. Rename it to np-120.zip. Open that in WinZip and
select install.

I have never figured out what to do with it. I mean you put the netnews server
in but what does it do? will it work with agent? and if so how?

It runs as a proxy server. You configure Nfilter to connect to your news
server, using the same configuration you now have in your news reader. Then
configure the news reader to connect to Nfilter (usually using IP address
127.0.0.1) instead of the news server. Nfilter removes whatever you tell it to
remove in the filter file before it ever reaches your news reader.

I don't know specifically if it works with Agent, but I know of no reason why
it would not. Check the archives, maybe someone has already posted that
information. I do know that it works with NewsXpress and Gravity.

You can download a copy from my website www.milmac.com/np-120.exe

Sorry, that's not correct. np-120.exe is right. It's a self-extracting
archive. Just execute that file.

I've been using it with Free Agent, works great. Thank's Doug for the
rules, they really help.

Thanks Doug for the file dat file...it's working great!

I had to change the extension of the np-120 from .exe to .zip, extract
to install.

Thanks again...

Slightly. But only when downloading headers. I haven't found that to be much
of a problem.

I'm using nfilter with agent. I just got it going this last wave of
troll posts, but it seems to be working....

This is not necessary. It's a self-extracting archive. All you need to do is
run it.

There is a problem with that file that causes the installation to fail on
some machines. This version (np-121.exe) appears to solve the problem:

Not significantly. If you put in a lot of rules, it *may* seem to slow
things down somewhat, but the same thing would happen if you put the same
rules in your newsreader. All in all, unless you have a very marginal
machine (I.e., not enough RAM, disk space or processor speed to run your
OS smoothly), you won't notice anything, except that you've got another
program running in the background.

Works fine for me in Agent (v1.92/32.572) under WinXP.

Somehow the file I previously had up was _one_ byte short. dunno how -that-
happened -- missing one NULL at the end of the file.

reminds me of the old joke:
mathmatician 1: Eureka! I've just invented zero
mathmatician 2: What's that?
mathmatician 1: pause Oh, nothing.

Anyway, it's been fixed -- good downloads now.

Slightly. But only when downloading headers. I haven't found that to be much
of a problem.

it was dog slow today. but when I set agent back to normal it was still slow but
not as slow. so it may be comcast right now.

Well, it did not self extract on my Win2K machine. I don't know if the
executable flag bits/bytes changed between OS versions or what.
Although it showed a custom icon from the exe file Exlporer would not
start it.

Steve,

I experienced major slowdowns and stoppage on
Scumcasts email and newsgroups yesterday in our
area too. Today's much better but still a bit slow.

why is it when you try something new something like that happens at the same
time and you don't know if it is the new thing or the service?
I hate when things like that happen.

I had warnings at work today about netsky_B (I think) virus slowing comm
pipes... look at http://www.symantec.com/
I've had good luck with nfilter and the filter config that Doug Miller sent
is pretty good...
