I have read a few other posts, and looked again. So the headers are in the files named after the newsgroups + $ for indexes(?). Then npr files are actually article bodies. Is that right? Seems to me, and I think theres another post about this that if you split them into different directories then we...

Isolatiing this activity from the rest of the disk tends to help though, because you can be writing thousands of files, and even on a large volume the fragmentation still occur...
