I have used leafnode for years now, and it generally does a good job.

I finally got tired of setting up things like INN, and find this works out

Leafnode normally only fetches groups you have read recently, so I wrote a
script to generate its "interesting.groups" folder so it would always fetch
certain groups even if I wasn't reading at the time.
