USENET peers?!

Jan 20, 2021, 12:38 PM

Post #1 of 5 (153 views)

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...

Hi Barry,

How much is it per day if you skip the groups distributing
finger-quote "linux isos"?

Around 300MB/day.

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.
