        AFAIK Google isn’t mirroring any of the binary stuff anyway though, are they? So how big is it? Surely with proper text compression it’s under 100TB. That’s 5 large hard drives at this point.

          The binary stuff is all on the paid usenet servers. Those are still very popular for piracy and not going away anytime soon.
