I'm pleased to announce that the archive I've been working on for several
years is finally as complete as it can be, and is ready for public
consumption.

The archive contains articles beginning in early 1981 and span to current day. It is far from complete, as I'm sure the source material was imperfect.

There are over 1.1 billion articles consuming over 5 terabytes.

Article numbering in this archive is in chronological order. Posting to the archive is not permitted.

There is a period of time, roughly 1995-2000, where valid timestamps were not present. The dates are correct, but all timestamps are midnight UTC:

Date: Thu, 30 Mar 1995 00:00:00 +0000

The archive contains a lot of spam, but we're working on a filtered version of the archive.

The news.blueworldhosting.com server that has been in existence will be
retired in favor of the filtered archive, once it is available. A separate announcement for this will be made with a planned cutover and retirement date.

The archive is available at archive.usenet.blueworldhosting.com via ports 119 (clear text) and 563 (TLS).

I will not make a 'web' version available. There are others who have taken on that endeavor, and they're free to use this archive.

I encourage others to replicate the archive, but do not recommend attempting
to pull/suck articles. This is a fruitless endeavor and will likely take a better part of a year to complete.

If you have the storage space and knowledge of INN/Diablo I will gladly push the archive to you, or make the CNFS buffers, history, and overview databases available for download.

It took over two weeks to feed the articles to this server from the 'repository' server I used to collect them using innxmit with near 0ms latency and a large SSD storage array.

Cheers,

Jesse Rehmer

Thanks very much. I used to wait almost 5 months for Archive.USENET.BlueWorldHosting.com to become available. I appreciate
very much. I recently used it to download news:5qmastF10pf0oU1@mid.individual.net whose thread I consider
quoting in a future webpage-to-be in HTTP://Gloucester.Insomnia247.NL/Epson/Canon_is_cheap_well._Epson_is_expensive_badly./

Perhaps you already filtered out some supposed spam or maybe you never
had some 5,483 posts ( = 91,038 posts - 85,555 posts) from
comp.lang.vhdl . . .

HTTPS://USENETArchives.com/groups.php?q=comp.lang.vhdl
showed:
"GROUP ru+ DESCRIPTION THREADS POSTS

whereas Alpine reported only 85,555 messages in this mbox HTTP://Gloucester.Insomnia247.NL/VHDL/comp.lang.vhdl_on_16th_August_2026_on_archive.USENET.BlueWorldHosting.mbox.txt

but their timestamps disagree.
