Call Green Day, the Eternal September is finally ending.

Oh, I am Idiot. In February I planned to make some meme around "Wake me up when September ends", and only now you reminded me of that. Well, anyway...

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.
