i actually never stopped to look… i know clients can poll the server for article and post to groups if the server allows it, but I don’t actually know if the servers all sync up on a cadence and dump massive amounts of data or if they only check for articles to satisfy client requests.
it might be a mix of both?
it is, except usenet isn’t exactly in realtime
How does it work if its not in real time? Does it all get updated every night or something?
