Don't quite understand what you did or doing..? What do you mean by 'a different nzb site'? And what you mean by 'internode server'?
Re: Astrraweb/US going 'off the rails' again with massive skips/incompletes
Lol my bad, I should have worded it better.What I meant was I downloaded a file today using astraweb + back and block accounts, then 30-60mins later I kept trying to download the same file again but it would not download.I thought maybe I didn't grab the right nzb so I tried different ones from different indexes and now I cant download the file anymore.This "news.internode.on.net" server what is it for ? I managed to use it for liek 500mb with my astraweb account but now it doesnt work really.

Not a PPV pro-wrestling capture...? Sounds like a DMCA but if on Astra should you should/would have gotten a message (I would think).
Don't have any idea as to the 'news.internode.on.net'. Just unknown, are you using NZBcc by any chance?

I found out later that is a server for Internode ISP.I tried NZBcc it shows it is missing most articles and then it always stops checks around 80-90% is that normal?it does not give me completion %.I also get a SSL negotiation failed with one of my servers in NZBcc,not a Astraweb server.
Re: Astrraweb/US going 'off the rails' again with massive skips/incompletes
NZBcc has kinda stopped development, so there are some wacky things with it (the original developer is trying to sell the thing).
Giganews for instance seems to go really s l o w, they may have tweaked something in there front end connections to make it slow when it sees someone trying to verify, who knows.
My personal opinion (take it for what it's worth on mr. internet) is with all the obfuscated and encrypted stuff filling up usenet these days, even without all the 'quick downloader' schemes and private websites hosting the 'keys', one would think that they'd generally take the hint (and perhaps they have except for the occasional takedowns of really obvious stuff.
Re: Astrraweb/US going 'off the rails' again with massive skips/incompletes
I just picked a film off Astraweb 902.7 days old, for me at least that's a record!
Re: Astrraweb/US going 'off the rails' again with massive skips/incompletes
Astra 'claims' they have 2057 (which calculates to 16 Aug 2008) but in my NZBcc runs back to what I've posted (known good at the time and for several weeks/months after) it's really more like Oct 08.
I generally work on 1 Jan 09 back date 'for sure', and will typically get something way back into the 1300+ days and more back. The problem, as I've noted here upon occasion, is that the 'free and open' indexers (NZBIndex/Binsearch) only go back 1000 days or so.
All this 'stuff' and one really can't get it or even know if it's there, if one didn't grab the nzb at the time, is 'hidden'.
Re: Astrraweb/US going 'off the rails' again with massive skips/incompletes
just switched to usenetnow from astraweb. thanks
Re: Astrraweb/US going 'off the rails' again with massive skips/incompletes
As I'm sure you've read here, Astra 'does' 'have it's moments', so to speak (BAD).
Basically just avoid Sunday PM (San Jose time for Astra/US, you didn't specify which) and the euro folks know the EU server 'bumps and grinds' pretty well.
Maybe once per week I note where the US plant grinds to a halt, other than the Sunday PM; early Tuesday morning they came to a halt for about 2 hours or so. I was 'asleep' (it happened around 2am pacific time) but my logs picked it up, plus things were off by about those 2 hours.
Otherwise, works fine by me, and the price is right for unlimited. Dodging the SundayPM and then the slowdowns from my cable ISP (later afternoon/early evening for transferring from the plant to me), and things work pretty good.

NzbClub is free and open and goes back 2,000 days or so:
