    What kinds of things usually get posted to those that prompted you to initially add them?

    I recently found I was quickly going through my usenet quota with astraweb.

    When I reviewed groups that had a large number of messages I found

    #AREA usenet_altcompfreeware alt.comp.freeware a
    #AREA usenet_complangc++ comp.lang.c++ a

    Both of these were receiving yEnc RAR parts.


    Yeah, on Usenet the binary creeps take over any channel they want so lots of these old channels have been turned into binary dumps. It's sad, Usenet was the goto place for all things, now other than a few niche groups it's mostly garbage.
