Having the NZBs zipped has allowed us to more than double the retention period.
Is that not a reasonable trade off?
err... can you explain how is that? I thought NZBs are just lists of files to download :ermm:Quote:

I have uploaded nzbs that where 1.5mb in size, when zipped they were 100kb.
now you see why they can increase the retention easily when everything is zipped.
I think it's okay, it's just to select "open" and one click on the mouse wheel to select my standard NZB folder, then extract.
I don't like the "new trend" with "pars added" and not including the NFO in the NZBs though but that's another debate :P
Some NZBs go up to 3mb and higher.Quote:

Zipped they rarely get higher than 100kb.

Since they take up less space we can keep more nzbs on our server (more days).
