===Peering=== All Usenet servers peer with one or more other servers in order to exchange articles. Occasionally, new servers appear. Although there are several web resources which may aid in finding peers, a better resource is the newsgroup [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/news.admin.peering news.admin.peering] (Google Groups portal). {{citation needed|date=August 2020}} As of 2020, text feeds can usually be attained for free, while full binary feeds can be free or paid (depending on how many articles each server sends to the other). Due to the large amount of data in a full binary+text Usenet feed (can be high as 30 terabytes a day) and the high costs of transmitting that data through an IP transit provider like [[Cogent Communications|Cogent]], [[Telia Company|Telia]], or [[Zayo Group|Zayo]], most Usenet providers will only engage in binary peering when they are interconnected at an Internet exchange like [[Amsterdam Internet Exchange|AMS-IX]], [[Seattle Internet Exchange|SIX]], or [[DE-CIX|DeCIX]].
