First of all, it really varies... 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:
