There's always a lot more stuff from other people than from you. Unless you expect every server to connect directly to every other server, you're going to end up with a small set of well connected servers that feed stub servers and send way more than they receive, and the stubs that receive way more than they send. I have run usenet servers pretty much continuously for over 20 years, and Usenet has always been like that. R's, John
