Astraweb Error Compilation

I posted (through Astra/US) a test file today, with JBinUp (100% confirmation), then retrieved it from the following:

1+ hour later:

Astra/US - 1 Block Error (out of 2914, .0004%)
Astra/EU - 14 Block Errors (out of 2914, .005%)
Astra/US+EU as fills - 100% (obviously, the errors between the two were not identical)
Blocknews/US - 100%
Binsearch - 100% cataloged/indexed
NZBIndex - 100% cataloged/indexed

Obviously, Astra/US accepted and propagated all the blocks which allowed Blocknews, Binsearch, and NZBIndex to get full completion. They just simply don't have all the blocks they accepted and propagated any more, after 1 hour.

Retrieval will be re-run at daily intervals from this point forward, to see how Astra continues to corrupt itself.

Day 1/24 hours:

Astra/US - 100%
Astra/EU - 2 Block errors (out of 2914, .0006%)
Astra/US+EU as fills - 100%

Things have improved, particularly Astra/EU. My ticket is still open, and not responded to as of yet.

Day 2/48 hours:

Astra/US - 100%
Astra/EU - 2 Block errors (out of 2914, .0006%)
Astra/US+EU as fills - 100%

NO change from 1 day/24 hours. Looked back a few weeks/couple months, and no real change (still the number of errors ramps up the further back).

Day 3/72 hours:

Astra/US - 100%
Astra/EU - 55 Block errors (out of 2914, .02%) 3.9% by Multipar
Astra/US+EU as fills - 100%

Astra/EU errors increased, needs (as shown) 3.9% pars to fix if another server is not used for fills.

Sill no errors on Astra/US.

Day 4/96 hours:

Astra/US - 100%
Astra/EU - 8/127 (.7%) damaged
Astra/US+EU as fills - 100%

Last nights run was probably extra-poor due to typical Sunday PM problems on Astra

Day 5/120 hours:

Astra/US - 8/127 (.6% damaged)
Astra/EU - 17/127 (2.3%) damaged
Astra/US+EU as fills - 7/127 (.5% damaged)

Getting some block errors on Astra/US, will have to see tomorrow (and further) if that stays, increases, or was just some transmission error.

Well, re-ran the Astra/US about 2 hours later and came up with the same damage.

Day 6/144 hours:

Astra/US - 12/127 (1.0% damaged)
Astra/EU - 17/127 (2.8%) damaged
Astra/US+EU as fills - 11/127 (.9% damaged)

Damaged parts continue to increase, particularly if one is using Astra/EU as primary w/o Astra/US as secondary fills, at least 2.8% pars would be required to 'fix' the archive.

It appears that the 'slope' of damage is, in fact, far steeper than original thought (or it's simply getting worse). Meanwhile, my original ticket is still open, but still not responded to.

Day 7/168 hours:

Astra/US - 13/127 (1.1% damaged)
Astra/EU - 18/127 (2.9%) damaged
Astra/US+EU as fills - 13/127 (1.1% damaged)

Both servers continue a downward trend; I had to run the AstraUS/EU twice, the first time it really came back bad, 78/127 (8.9% damaged). Don't know why, perhaps just hit it the US server at a bad time.

Ticket still open, no response.

Damn..it's really disappointing.

Please, send these results to astraweb...

I wonder what' going on with AW.. as in general.. have they run out of money to pay for a proper infrastructure\hardware\software support etc.

Day 7/192 hours:

Astra/US - 13/127 (1.1% damaged)
Astra/EU - 19/127 (3.3%) damaged
Astra/US+EU as fills - 13/127 (1.1% damaged)

Both servers continue to slowly degrade, still no reply to the ticket I opened a week ago.
