The full feed is probably only about 600 *GIGABYTES* of traffic _per_day_.

I distinctly remember when a local sysop was complaining that if Usenet

That was an $800 upgrade for a clone!

I go back to the days when you could get a 'full feed' over a 19.2kbit/sec
dial-up modem -- in about 3 hrs. When it was possible to 'eyeball' _every_
article. And there were people who _did_ exactly that.
