200 days? That's insane. Usenet traffic is estimated to be 300GB of new material per day. That's 60TB of storage required to hold 200 days, and this stuff is going to be a redundant system for speed and loss prevention, meaning the amount of data they're storing could very well be twice that (120TB). I can't even image 120TB in hard drives.:Q

It's nice to find pretty obscure stuff, but there's no way you can find anything by headers.

Sure there is. Just use Giganews Accelerator http://www.giganews.com/accelerator.html
You can download all headers of 125 days, 200 days, or even 600 days, when the time comes, in the matter of minutes!

Oh snap, I didn't realize that it was that useful, hmm, I'll try it out, but I have a bandwidth limit so I hope it doesn't chew up too much. Any good readers out there? I kinda gave up on BNR2 and just went with sabnzbd and d/ling only nzb releases.
