I guess the traffic depends on the quantity of newsgroups - as well
as how far one is down the line (which would cause a larger paths line).

When we were getting news from iuvax->news.nd.edu we were only picking
up 10 or so different base groups - but since we've switched to the university
of michigan - we now get around 30..  I guess some backbone sites don't
get all the newsgroups that are available.  We even get a regional newsgroup
for stuggart, west germany.

Traffic yesterday was 13.5 megs -
