I'm having a hard time making my posts look exactly like that Confused
guy, still working on it though, hopefully I'm close enough that someone
spends a lot of time DL some weird old music videos I had on a mostly
unused partition of an old HD on an old server....:-)

And the newsgroup software they use has far more capacity. I uploaded a
bout 800 small files and didn't make a dent in their efforts. Since they
just filter out our counter-flood attempts, there is little we can do
except try and match the file size and naming. That would only confuse the
end users and force requests for reposts. Still not a 'strong defense.'
I don't see them being 'reasonable' folks..they have been in possesion
of the newsgroup for years and seen un-inclined to leave. That's why I
suggested killing the newsgroup. That is the only real way I can think of
that will impact them.

I'm currently using my 2nd shop computer to post stuff there and with a
1mbit upload I'm managing quite a few posts pr day :-), good thing
Teranet doesn't have an UL cap as none of my ISP's carry this NG either,
although the UL speeds are nowhere near 1 mbit so I guess they have some
sort of cap on it
With the kind of traffic that NG is seeing these days, I wonder how long
ISP's are storing the posts as my posts alone should be a couple of GB's
worth alone, the server admins needs to limit the amount of space a
single NG can use somehow, I know HD space is cheap these days, but even
ISP's doesn't have unlimited server space...
