We're running dnews and some days the expire kicks in a few hours early due to a huge jump in volume. Going from an expire report from a few weeks ago, we were pulling down about 2.5 Gigs on an "average" day, but it really peaks every now and then. We have two feeds, which really does seem to fill things in nicely, but it is mostly crap. We junk anything crossposted to more than 5 groups and refuse messages above 500K. --This is a snapshot from a day when one of the feeds was down: Sites that have sent us articles since the last expire: Site Posts Rejects Dup Total Articles/S Kbytes/s 207.106.0.20 242832 48484 412 291316 4.70 37.65 2335547k 204.74.114.90 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 0k --And for fun, what gets read...
