they run an NNTP server, not just a website. So cloudflare would not help with that.
The DDOS targeted only the web server. The NNTP server (news.gmane.org) is on a different server and actually still running just fine right now.
I have no idea what their traffic requirements are, but CloudFlare has a generous free plan.
