I am watching about 10 text groups and in all of them there are really only about 30-40 people, total, posting. Only a couple are politics free and they are very much special interest groups. The binary groups are virtually dead. |

Since _before_ you went on your crusade you have had zero reason to post any criticism of my posts here. Oh, a list of names, I think I'll insult them all. Jerk. Now you've made me make an off topic post. Do you ever get tired of being an A-hole. -- Dan Espen |

The binary groups are virtually dead. Dead in what way? Lack of idle banter, chatter, and politics? Yes, I should hope so. But certainly not dead WRT binary posts. Binary volume is at record highs and still growing, year after year. Dead in the sense that there always used to be tens of thousands of new headers in the alt.binaries.sounds. ... mp3 groups every week and now there are only a handful. Some of the other groups collect nothing at all. OK, thanks. Looks like both of your claims fizzled out. |

Yes, there are a few that post nonsense and are in my kill file and even myself got probably too heavy with politics. If people post on-topic stuff they get plenty of good replies. I used to participate in a handful of groups from the pre-Facebook days but most have zero participation in the past few years. Other groups still have a smattering of on topic but are largely the same group tossing about some usually friendly banter with no complaints. |

If you actually read the article it isn't as rosy as you imply. "One potential explanation for the growth of the USENET feed is reposting. Older articles are increasingly being reposted, which pushes more of the total USENET feed into the more recent days. Its estimated that only 10% of articles posted are ever actually read and more than 50% of the articles read are less than 120 days old and a whopping 85% of the read articles are less than 1500 days old. Combine that with reposting and the growth of the USENET feed makes more sense. Older articles are just not pulled as often." It looks like a lot of "write only storage". |

Thank you! What is really interesting is that of the 25 top threads, only one is about home repair- and it is #25! Maybe nobody fixes anything anymore. ;-) The reality is usenet is dying. I've been on Usenet since 1984 and I think I heard my first "Usenet is dying" somewhere around 1988 and continuing ever since. I suppose it actually is dying, but it's been the slowest possible death. I reckon they'll be saying the same 20 years from now. I only have to point to this group. If it wasn't for a couple dozen people talking about off topic stuff, there wouldn't be much activity at all. In spite of all Arlen bitches about, the actual home repair threads stay pretty clean here and we do tend to leave our political differences behind. I am watching about 10 text groups and in all of them there are really only about 30-40 people, total, posting. Only a couple are politics free and they are very much special interest groups. The binary groups are virtually dead. Dead in what way? Lack of idle banter, chatter, and politics? Yes, I should hope so. But certainly not dead WRT binary posts. Binary volume is at record highs and still growing, year after year. Dead in the sense that there always used to be tens of thousands of new headers in the alt.binaries.sounds. ... mp3 groups every week and now there are only a handful. Some of the other groups collect nothing at all. OK, thanks. Looks like both of your claims fizzled out. How is that? which binary groups are booming? For that matter, except for the political posts in the appropriate or even inappropriate groups, which text groups are booming? There are over 100,000 groups. If you know what you're doing, you don't have to check them one by one. According to these guys, daily Usenet volume is running around 120GB, about double what it was in 2019 and 10 times what it was a decade ago. Booming doesn't begin to describe it. https://newsgroupdirect.com/blog/202...-feed-in-2020/ Never would have guessed. OTOH, they don't give details as to what the traffic is. Seems most discussion groups have wanted but there may be some streaming of movies that take up a lot of those bytes. Yes, and many binaries are sent in chunks distributed across many individual articles to be stitched back together by the client. One picture can be worth more than a thousand words. |

No, he's a hypocritical dumbass who has trolled several groups with off topic posts, yet has the audacity to call others a troll. Of all participants, Arlen is the biggest jackass of them all, next to Peeler, of course. That is why most, if not all, have him in their killfile. |

I first put the leading space version of him in my bozo bin. Then he came back with the embedded double space version and I thought his fruitless campaign to stop off topic posts would be amusing. Then out of nowhere he insults me again. So, now he has 2 places in the bozo bin. A thoroughly nasty person. -- Dan Espen |

Combine that with reposting and the growth of the USENET feed makes more sense. Older articles are just not pulled as often." It looks like a lot of "write only storage". I don't disagree with what they said in their blog, but I don't know how it relates to your 'rosy' comment. You claimed that binary groups are virtually dead, but the exact opposite is true. Binary groups are exploding, seeing exponential growth over the past 20 years. Text groups are slowing down, as people find other ways to congregate and communicate, but binary traffic is anything but dead. |

Binary volume is at record highs and still growing, year after year. Dead in the sense that there always used to be tens of thousands of new headers in the alt.binaries.sounds. ... mp3 groups every week and now there are only a handful. Some of the other groups collect nothing at all. OK, thanks. Looks like both of your claims fizzled out. How is that? which binary groups are booming? For that matter, except for the political posts in the appropriate or even inappropriate groups, which text groups are booming? There are over 100,000 groups. If you know what you're doing, you don't have to check them one by one. According to these guys, daily Usenet volume is running around 120GB, about double what it was in 2019 and 10 times what it was a decade ago.

Just like email, 3,072 megabytes is too large to attach to a single email and must be broken into smaller parts and sent in multiple emails. These vacation videos and pictures would be made up of hundreds of encoded newsgroup text articles." Perhaps you have some video of war crimes being perpetrated, posting it anywhere else, like FB, might not be in one's best interest. https://www.usenet.com/what-is-a-binary-file/ |

Seems most discussion groups have wanted but there may be some streaming of movies that take up a lot of those bytes. Yes, and many binaries are sent in chunks distributed across many individual articles to be stitched back together by the client. One picture can be worth more than a thousand words. Yes, but it makes no sense to do pictures that way, you should use a link to one of the picture servers. Not if you want or need anonymity. |

It used to be it was over a million new headers in a couple weeks (the limit for this reader) so I had to stay on top of it. I bought 8 just because of that and shortly thereafter it wasn't necessary. These days it is easier to rip the music from you tube I guess. |

Thank you! What is really interesting is that of the 25 top threads, only one is about home repair- and it is #25! Maybe nobody fixes anything anymore. ;-) The reality is usenet is dying. I've been on Usenet since 1984 and I think I heard my first "Usenet is dying" somewhere around 1988 and continuing ever since. I suppose it actually is dying, but it's been the slowest possible death. I reckon they'll be saying the same 20 years from now. I only have to point to this group. If it wasn't for a couple dozen people talking about off topic stuff, there wouldn't be much activity at all. In spite of all Arlen bitches about, the actual home repair threads stay pretty clean here and we do tend to leave our political differences behind. I am watching about 10 text groups and in all of them there are really only about 30-40 people, total, posting. Only a couple are politics free and they are very much special interest groups. The binary groups are virtually dead. Dead in what way? Lack of idle banter, chatter, and politics? Yes, I should hope so. But certainly not dead WRT binary posts. Binary volume is at record highs and still growing, year after year. Dead in the sense that there always used to be tens of thousands of new headers in the alt.binaries.sounds. ... mp3 groups every week and now there are only a handful. Some of the other groups collect nothing at all. OK, thanks. Looks like both of your claims fizzled out. How is that? which binary groups are booming? For that matter, except for the political posts in the appropriate or even inappropriate groups, which text groups are booming? There are over 100,000 groups. If you know what you're doing, you don't have to check them one by one. According to these guys, daily Usenet volume is running around 120GB, about double what it was in 2019 and 10 times what it was a decade ago. Booming doesn't begin to describe it. https://newsgroupdirect.com/blog/202...-feed-in-2020/ OK if you say so. It just isn't any of the groups I visit and it looks like you either. I'm capable of getting an overview of any group, set of groups, or all of Usenet at any time, so I can see where traffic is heavy. I can look inside a group without subscribing to it and without downloading headers. OTOH, if I do want to get headers, I have the server send them compressed, which is way way faster. If you actually read the article it isn't as rosy as you imply. "One potential explanation for the growth of the USENET feed is reposting. Older articles are increasingly being reposted, which pushes more of the total USENET feed into the more recent days. It’s estimated that only 10% of articles posted are ever actually read and more than 50% of the articles read are less than 120 days old and a whopping 85% of the read articles are less than 1500 days old. Combine that with reposting and the growth of the USENET feed makes more sense. Older articles are just not pulled as often." It looks like a lot of "write only storage". I don't disagree with what they said in their blog, but I don't know how it relates to your 'rosy' comment. You claimed that binary groups are virtually dead, but the exact opposite is true. Binary groups are exploding, seeing exponential growth over the past 20 years. Text groups are slowing down, as people find other ways to congregate and communicate, but binary traffic is anything but dead. I used to use the music groups (alt.binaries.sounds ...) but they are all virtually dead. I just downloaded headers for the first time in over a month and there were only a handful of new posts. It used to be it was over a million new headers in a couple weeks (the limit for this reader) so I had to stay on top of it. I bought 8 just because of that and shortly thereafter it wasn't necessary. These days it is easier to rip the music from you tube I guess. My music collection is essentially complete, as very little new music interests me, but if I lost it and wanted to recreate it via Usenet, I could. Rather than searching a specific group, I'd do a global search across all groups. Sometimes people move from one group to another for various reasons, so a global search usually finds content that seems to be missing. Also keep in mind that most video uploads (movies, TV programs, concerts, music videos, etc) are obfuscated, so you need to know how to deal with that. |
