[comp.sources.d] Source archive experiences?

scott@zorch.SF-Bay.ORG (Scott Hazen Mueller) (12/08/89)

I've got a fairly sizable Usenet source archive that I am considering making
available either by an email server or anonymous UUCP or both.  I am interested
in hearing from people who are running archives of either type, or who have
been email neighbors of sites that have run servers.

What sorts of things have been major considerations for archive sites?  If I
were to run a server, I would guess that the most important potential problem
would be the increased email traffic passing through my neighbor sites.  For
anonymous UUCP, I would consider modem availability to be the most important
concern, e.g., if someone started a very long transfer on my currently-only
data line.  What kinds of problems with security are there?  Are there other
things that I am missing?

Thanks for any comments,
