Not off hand, dnews doesnt give that sort of reporting, only top groups.
 

i2pn2 and nk.ca have both about 6,000 articles a day; pasdenom.info
about 4,000, so I am intrigued by your volume.

I've had a quick look at a few servers a couple months ago when
cybershock was doing their latest update, a number of those servers do
not carry all the aus.* groups, some apparently none at all (out of the
groups I tested), if that happens for aus.* its more than likely
happening in other hierachies.

I've had a look in the configs, the numbers here may also be skewed by us
taking feed from "lore", one of my team has added a comment saying not to
be exported, sent her an email since I'm on holidays asking why as I'm
curious, but earlier comments still stand, by your own stats there is a
wild variance of article numbers by servers.

Perhaps they don't want some hierachies, or blocked some for legal
reasons, we have to block certain groups when requested by ASIC or the
AFP (that list is currently only 7 groups anyway)

Happy Holidays
