Beside Usenet Explorer, Newsleecher also support feature that another server used to download missing articles.
It's ideal if you have block accounts set as 2nd, 3rd... priority whereas unlimited accounts set as 1st priority
In my own opinion, UseNetServer and Newshosting are ultra fast, better download speed than most famous Newsgroups providers

Usenet Explorer has the same feature as well, it is called "server preference". What makes difference for me - Usenet Explorer is capable of handling large newsgroups without hanging or crashing.
Server order is not useful unless one has a block or limited account - which would be too expensive for me as I'm downloading hundreds of gigabytes a month. My former Giganews account was a limited account, but cheaper providers are now complete enough, so I didn't need the account any longer, par2 repair does the trick.

An Excerpt from: A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace
by John Perry Barlow
Read more hereGovernments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather [...] I declare the global social space we are building to be naturally independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us.
It used to be a common thing to get a decent usenet server and then have to call a number and complain about incompetes. State a few of the groups that you see are broken and tell them you want complete messages in these and other such groups. I used to find results almost instantly after complaining and you should only have to do it once. Many servers, like those included in an ISP typically, are very bad for binaries a sever like giganews is usually needed (good example of one you have to call and complain to).

Just like the NSA, I'm compelled to copy everything I want to.
