Dunno about that--right now I'm showing 8000 posts on the wreck alone and
I
only hold posts on my workstation for a week.
300 - 400 posts per day is not unusual here, in my experience.
I signed up recently with giganews (from comcast) and this newsgroup had
250,000 posts to it.
And since MS IE can only load a thousand at a time, I needed to download
these posts 250 times to clear out the back posts.
Anybody know of a quicker way to do this? I am stuck with windoze products
(work computer and all).
Microsoft IE actually calls on Outlook Express for newsgroup access. To change
the default number of headers downloaded at a time click on "Tools" then
"Options". Then click on the "Read" tab. In the "News" section of the menu is
the number of headers to download at a time.
