OT anyone know where nntp.aioe.org is?

Ie it seems to have gone and so does the web site. I know its a one man band
but its been pretty reliable. With the current closing of many news servers
of late, these free ones are used by quite a few people. I only use it as
back up myself.

I use

and
news.datemas.de
as a backup

It's a hardware problem. I have read that the hardware is in
Milan but Paolo lives near Rome. He's going to try to deal with
it tomorrow.
