Is usenetnow poop?

[Travo1]

Why would it keep returning 'cant find item' on some, but work with others?

Those are most likely dmca takedowns, files are wiped out of the servers after complaints from the $$$ people.
High profile stuff are mostly targeted.

Either find a hidden post or another source.
