Does anyone who has used it have any figures about how much bandwidth it would use, obviously it's different for different newsgroups but can anyone give me a general idea?

Well, I haven't got any firm figures but here are my general thoughts on this:
- First reaction is
not much!
- Biggest drain will be when you do your first batch pull as this is getting a lot of posts for history
- Depends on how many newsgroups you pull...
- ...and how active they are
- Since the perl script ignores Binary Posts (or posts above a certain amount of lines) these are not a drain on your bandwidth
Overall I don't think it should be too bad, but i'm sure others have some sort of analysis on this.
