said by kevinds:NNTP has never been counted, or counted very rarely...
Last time I had access to their system (this was a long ways back), their internal tool didn't show NNTP traffic either.
There are a few threads about it here
Could you clear up an ambiguity, please? Do you mean ALL nntp, or simply those on a non-standard port? Also, is SSL a factor? Reason I ask: I use third party nntp for nearly all my dl's, port 119, no ssl. And, trust me, they are most certainly counted here, as my usage meter is nearly always within a few percent of my router's count (allowing for the stupid 2 day lag on Shaw's meters).
My modem, btw, is the smc in modem-only mode.
