Article Not Found problems Hi, That wasn't something I was aware of, thanks for pointing that out. I just installed alt.binz - The same files now show as "Incomplete"
Article Not Found problems
Article Not Found problems Grabit can make that problem worse, you know.
Article Not Found problems FWIW I've been experiencing this issue a few times recently on new article too. Ie, less than 20 days old 11/60 not found. (astraweb / grabit)
Article Not Found problems I've only noticed it with movies so far
Article Not Found problems Like what exactly TV/Movies/Games?
Article Not Found problems They are gone from Highwinds servers (usenet-news.net, etc.).
Article Not Found problems PM me what you tried to download ill check it via giganews so we ll be able to rule out retention issues with your providers.
Article Not Found problems Hi TomJay, Fluke .... just thought I'd toss in my hat ... To get your stuff that's missing from Giganews/Supernews, I suggest signing up for a trial account at Xennews.com or Hitnews.eu -- there's no risk; you don't need to give a creditcard number or anything, so it's totally free for 2 or 3 days. Last I heard, Xennews/Hitnews (and most other Dutch usenet providers) were free from the takedown removals that have been crippling Giganews/Supernews. A Xennews/Hitnews trial should let you snag your missing episodes if they were posted in the last 200 days. Also, you might want to consider joining a private NZB release site. I know that a lot of movies on Usenet are posted under cryptic filenames (so they're not easily found and hence taken down) but are available via private NZB. (private meaning: can't be found using Google; most of these sites are free and have open registration) I suspect that HBO TV shows might be similarly posted. Often private release sites are one of the few places to find frequently-taken-down material. And then maybe its time to ditch Giganews/Supernews for a less famous, more "under the radar" usenet provider. Either that or supplement the account with Blocknews to get the missing articles.
Article Not Found problems Not enough blocks to do so. Infact, the latest troublesome post has failed on all Par2 files with this message - not a good start!!
Article Not Found problems yeah... but I think I paid for a once-off $10 for 25 gigs of downloads. I Made sure to stay away for the monthly plans. It's def more than $3, but i'm ok with that. I'll keep BlockNews in mind though!
