Through a coincidence of hardware failures "out there", which should come back soon, and admittedly some inattentiveness as peers went away, The World finds itself looking for some Usenet peers. Not a full feed, we can talk. 1. OT? Feel free to point me to a better place which anyone is likely reading. 2. Usenet is dead and besides a full feed is 20+TB/day because it's dead, but 20TB/day... -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs@TheWorld.com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo*

Hi Barry,
How much is it per day if you skip the groups distributing finger-quote "linux isos"?
Around 300MB/day. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs@TheWorld.com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo*

Interesting.
I see 50-70 MB / day for text only newsgroups.
Perhaps I want to step up to more than text only on some of my servers.
That might be a little overstated, I just took the spool size and divided by the # of days of retention but there may be some expiration leakage and we do expire some groups faster or slower. And of course that's an average. YMMV.

Right now it's feeling like unix && die.
