Long story short, I just spend the last hour downloading about 5 million headers using Newsleecher.
In the download counter, it says that I downloaded a total of 4 GB.
However, when I check the Newsleecher cache in %APPDATA%\NewsLeecher\ , the whole folder is only 870 MB.
So what does this mean? Where is the other 3 GB???

An Excerpt from: A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace
by John Perry Barlow
Read more hereGovernments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather [...] I declare the global social space we are building to be naturally independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us.
Compression makes sense. That's probably it.
You know, for the headers, I download them because I don't know what I want to download so having a list of stuffs available in front of me to choose helps a lot.
I download headers not in the big groups but the smaller binary groups. I find many useful posts not found on NZB sites.
