   I am subscribed to two soc.culture.* groups.  But what it seems to me is
   that updates are being done less frequently. e.g., I donot get any
   postings for some time then about 30 of them comes at the same time.
   How often do you update these files. 

NetNews is constantly coming in from the outside world.  If articles
appear in clumps, it means that they are fed to us in clumps.  There's
nothing we can do about that.

We don't "update these files."  The incorporation of new news into the
newsgroups happens automatically as our news server receives it.
