I'll give you a newsfeed, no charge. My feed exchanger was ranked #73
worldwide, before the freenix stats went belly-up last august... So long as
it's not high maintenance (frequent changes to the subscription), it's no
problem. Full newsfeed volume is pushing 200gig a day these days, but
without the binaries groups, it's something like five or six gigs a day. if
you were to take just comp.* though for example, you could keep well more
than a month worth of articles on a 2gig drive.
