Description

Noffle is a Usenet news server optimized for few users and low speed dial-up connections to the Internet. It acts as a server to news clients running on the local host, but gets its news feed by acting as a client to a remote server. Allows reading news offline with many news clients, even if they do not support offline reading by themselves.

The newest version among them is 1.1.5, as upstream numbers it.
