Surely I shouldn't have needed a rebuild_index (I've never done one - I
was always put off by your "It takes hours" comment in the manual :)
because the spool started off completely empty (the 200Gb I lost)...
I think I figured it out, after combing through the logs for half an
hour... The dropped parts were items I already had because they were
crossposted to a group I'd already sucked, I think...
Does that mean I sucked them again, then threw them away? It sure looks
like it, here...
Parts 8796:507 3050mb, In 6701 2336mb, Complete 2756 1003mb, 41% 43%,
Rej 0% Drop 1143mb, Err 0 Rotated 1274 minutes ago, Upto 91 0.29 125
Isn't that a little wasteful? Avoidable?

Bob
