Hello - I've opened an account to gain access to the binaryboy news servers and I'm having a few problems. I originally opened the account because I seemed to be having a few problems with my Road Runner news server... so I was hoping subscribing to a news server would help me out... sadly it didn't
This is my problem.
Whenever I go to download anything from any binaries newsgroup I get this error message about 80% of the time
"09/30/2004 5:06:21 PM * Unavail. : None of the article parts were available on the server(s) anymore (430 No Such Article)."
Now I realize news servers have different retention periods for the files.... but I get this no matter how old or new the files are... Whether the file is less than a day old (the software does say the binary is completely uploaded, so therefore it should be there for me to download) and I also try files that have been listed for quite a few days and I still have the same problem....
Now for the other 20% of the time when the file does actually start downloading... I have another major problem... When downloading, it keeps skipping parts of the file. So the software will list that the file is 15mb before I start - then as it starts you can see it skipping various parts then when the software reports the file as being 100% downloaded.... the final downloaded file is only about 20-30% (varies) of what the actual filesize should be... this is making it so I can't unrar any of what I download... and there is nowhere near enough downloaded in order to actually use par2 restoration stuff... or wahtever.
I have tried like 6 different applications to download from the binaries, but they pretty much all have the same problems....
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
I will say though - when connected to the pro server, the download speeds are excellent - So I'm hoping I can get this working!
