DONT CHECK FILES COMPLETION WITH NZB DOWNLOAD CHECKER ON BLOCKNEWS

There was a discussion thread about this topic from several months ago, where it was noticed that Readnews had the same missing parts as Highwinds.

If I could find it again, I would like to re-test those NZBs to see if they were ever fixed.

BTW: I'd like to see a completion checker that downloads the actual article body --just the first few bytes-- and that should eliminate all these false reports. (On Readnews it should be much faster than NZB Download Checker)

i dunno how newsbin pro test download works but it doesnt have this problem with blocknews.

I've never had problems setting US server as main and EU server as backup. Download checker must just croak for some reason the way it works with blocknews.
