From late 1990 until around 1997 I had a full feed via UUNET and ran cnews locally on my pc with cnews and trn for reading. It wasn't long before I had to scale back and drop all the binary groups and eventually others. IIRC a full feed when I started was about 3MB a day (still tough to do at 12/2400 bps)
