Summary: A list of disk usage of various newsgroups


Once again, here is perhaps the ``typical'' disk usage of various
newsgroups (from 'du -s /usr/spool/news/net/* | sort +0nr'):

8488     sources
7592     micro
3448     sf-lovers
2768     movies
2568     news		< -- You are here
2304     nlang
2224     politics*
1784     lang
1640     unix-wizards
1584     auto
1560     women*
1504     music*
1480     wanted
1456     flame*		< -- net.flame is here
1400     unix
1360     singles*

The '*'ed newsgroups are expired after 10 days, the others after 20.

I just thought you might want some real-world data to work with.
