I'm not sure how common it is for users to access newsgroups from

it's extremely common for binary downloads, which is the overwhelming
majority of usenet these days.


Agreed, but even the text-only folks have been migrating to the free NSPs



Interesting. I hadn't realized that binary downloads is the overwhelming
majority of usenet these days.


If I had been asked when the majority of Usenet activity shifted from text
discussions to binary downloading, I would say it was around 1995, give or
take a little. Certainly no later than 1998, but I have some historical
markers that say it was well before that.
