  • Most Downloads?

    From Toady Lickspittle@Toady@nospam.pls to alt.usenet.news-server-comparison,alt.usenet,alt.usenet.newbies on Sat Dec 26 14:30:06 2009
    From Newsgroup: alt.usenet.newbies


    How can I find out which groups have the
    most daily downloads? Not the most in post
    count, but the most files downloaded from a
    particular group.

    Thanks!

    You can't without a response from every NSP.

    Be aware that the data probably only comes from only one NSP - newsguy
    (that's their web site). It's probably typical of most paid servers by
    won't be typical of all of Usenet especially of the text only servers.

    I'm surprised the phone-sex advertising newsgroups don't rate
    considering that Newsguy injects over a million commercial postings
    every month into them. They clearly have some 'interesting' customers.
