Most premium providers haven't deleted binaries in several years. At worst, it could at least be temporary archival until more permanent storage is acquired in the future. For example, place the 0 views Justin.TV vids there until ArchiveTeam and justify the space themselves.
- sp332 12y ago0-view vids are over (estimated) 1,000 TB! I don't think most Usenet providers have that spare capacity.
- xhrpost 12y agoYea, that's a valid point. I'm pretty sure some could handle it, but many peers may not be able to. Using Usenet for mass archives would have to be done gradually. "more than 25 petabytes of Usenet messages on the Giganews servers." ... "Giganews is 50 percent bigger today than at this point last year and we continue to add servers with this kind of growth in mind." [1] I just think it's an under utilized medium for this sort of media conservation. 1 - http://www.giganews.com/blog/2014/01/giganews-reaches-2000-days-of-retention.html http://www.giganews.com/blog/2014/01/giganews-reaches-2000-d...
