When I was setting up feeds for customers, we advised that you needed a 10 meg connection JUST for news if you wanted all 25000 odd groups that we carried.Can any ISP admins give me an idea of how much traffic is downloaded for the major top level groups. Ie how much will be downloading per day or week if we decide to bring in all of comp. and all of aus.
Found this little bit of info :
Usenet Statistics (2002/03/18 - 2002/03/19)
Total feed size (excluding cross-posting): 353062.59 Mb in 1730196 articles over 1.00 days
