As of mid-2024, the daily Usenet feed size has exceeded 360 terabytes (TB) . Some metrics from 2024–2026 indicate spikes as high as 475 TB to 500 TB per day.
In recent years, the daily volume of Usenet has grown at a staggering pace.
Usenet volume refers to the total amount of data—both text discussions and binary files—transferred and stored across the decentralized network of news servers daily. While originally a text-heavy medium, modern Usenet volume is overwhelmingly dominated by binary data, such as software, video, and large archives.
Several technical and cultural factors contribute to this massive data flow:
To maintain "retention" (the history of posts), major providers must store over 60 petabytes of data to cover roughly 12 years of history. Factors Driving Volume Growth
This is a massive leap from 2008, when the daily volume was only about 4.7 TB .
