Article not found message

Hello all.. Im new to the Newsgroup movement and have hit a stumbling block. Im using Usenet.com (soon to be moving to newshosting) as well as Newzbin for search and Grabit for dl's. I was able to download some vids but as of late everything I try to get comes back with a Article not found. The downloads look like they are going to start and they stop. Start and stop all without really doing anything then I get "Article no found" I've heard this happens occasionally but I have not been able to get anything lately. I usually choose headers that have comments about the vid to see if it's legit.. Am I doing something wrong?:unsure:

Digital.

Sounds like what you are trying to download is over the retention of your provider. They claim to have up to 150 Days Binary Retention,

How old was the things you where/are trying to get?

Usenet.com does not carry all newsgroups.

Sign up with giganews free trial download the file that way. 240 days retention if that's not your cup of tea then cancel before trial ends.

It was 10 days old the file I was trying to get.. But I tried multiple locations and had the same thing.. I think it could be the lack of servers for usenet.com.
