News problems again, or is everyone gone for the summer?

I have had problems in the past with my ISP's news server, but it SEEMS to be working okay now. But the average new message count seems to be around 25 to 30. Am I missing a lot of messages? I can remember when this group had well over a hundred messages a day.

Or is the group dying?

I typically get around 50+ in a 24 hour span, sometimes more, but then it might be that there are not many (as mentioned). Your ISP may not keeping them around long thus you may miss some of them. An old ISP I had did that as they had limited HD space. Try looking at:

and see if you've missed any.

I'm only seeing 30-50 per day and my server's settings haven't changed in years, so I can only speculate traffic's waaaay down. But, it has been for a good long time now...
