A leaf site I feed has what appears to be a 9600 baud internet connection, with the result that things are always backed up (as I type, the current nntpxmit connection has been running for 12 hours, and 3500 articles have come in during that time). If I switched to a UUCP/TCP feed I could speed things up considerably by sending compressed batches. I understand that the revised NNTP specification will allow article compression, so I'll probably just wait for that to come out and then insist that the downstream site upgrade. :: Jeff Makey Department of Tautological Pleonasms and Superfluous Redundancies Department Disclaimer: All opinions are strictly those of the author.
