There's your problem right there. You just asked for (and got)
every single cancel message posted for any group on the entire
usenet, about 40-50 MB/day. There's no need for that.

The other groups you listed were on the order of a couple of
megabytes per day, if that.

At any rate, if you want to have a local news spool, get a UUCP
feed. You should have no problem at all keeping up with a hundred
typical-to-volumnous groups (excluding binary groups) in under an
hour per day. I've got a site currently taking a big-eight and
local feed that uses less than eight hours per day of connect time.
