I have a script that grabs all new posts off the server each night
and puts them into directories by group. It then goes into the
povray.binaries.images archive and decodes any new messages with binary
attachments.
The current size of my "decoded images" directory is 237204 kilobytes.
The text archive, including the encoded versions of all those images,
is 742640K. If you exclude povray.binaries.images (which you shouldn't,
because there are also some very good text posts in there) the size is
317512K. Excluding the entire .binaries heirarchy gives a size of
127481K, of which 48468K is povray.general and 12483K is povray.off-topic.
My mostly-complete archive of this news server is currently using almost
a gigabyte of disk space, if you include the decoded images.

These are my opinions. I do NOT speak for the POV-Team.
