is a command line news server multiplexer which allows you to access several news servers simultaneously from any news reader.
NewsPlex can be seamlessly inserted between your existing news server and reader without modifying the list of groups or the article numbers.
The program does not retrieve articles before you request them. It only creates local indexes and redirects article retrieval.
It always uses the best server for requesting an article among those who have it, and uses one of the other servers if the best one could not deliver the article. Servers are rated dynamically according to speed, latency, and availability.
In addition, NewsPlex can be used to quickly explore lists of candidate news servers, and to evaluate their service value.
