Last month I started using Vnews to access UseNet, including the
bicycling file/conference/whatever. Other files have up to 100
messages a day, but the bicycling file that I get only has a message
every other day or so.
Q. Am I getting only a part of the message traffic? Or is the file
action dead 'cuz of winter? (Back in the old days, getting UseNet from
ROLL:: I don't ever remember rec.bicycles getting this slow.)

Something's broken for you. I've been getting at least a dozen
messages per day.
Which server are you using?

My server is MOUNTN. I'm at the Mill. - Chris | |||||

My impression has been that mountn is slightly wimpy as a server;
there seem to be relatively frequent messages about running out
of disk space, crashing, etc.
This thread should probably be moved to the news-backbone notesfile.

I changed servers and what a difference! Thanks for the
confirmation on the traffic. Over and out. - Chris

For the definitive info, look in upsar::news-backbone.
For those who are only mildly interested, usenet is sort of like
notesfiles except that the news actually gets copied to all
participating machines. It is mostly external, so be careful
about company confidential items.
Within DEC, usenet news percolates through a number of the
ultrics machines. You can either get an account on one of these
machines, or get a copy of vnews or xrn (if you run decwindows)
to read it from one of them.
The news group rec.bicycles is the one.
