Leafnode is a USENET software package designed for small sites, with a
few tens of readers and only a slow link to the net.

It consists of several programs, three essential ones and several add-ons.

- Leafnode is the NNTP server. It talks to the normal news clients,
and stores readership data.

- Fetchnews is the NNTP news-gatherer. It looks at the readership data
Leafnode stores, and selects what groups to pull news from.

- Texpire is responsible for deleting old and uninteresting news. It
deletes all discussion threads that are old and not recently read.
