Article Not Found problems

[QUOTE=unoriginal;3473497]

Um, did you miss out on the whole months long trial that newzbin just went through? This isn't a new issue that somehow popped up overnight.

I only just started paying for usenet in the past couple of months. Until then, my only experience with usenet was for a short period of time...my ISP offered it for free a couple of years ago before disallowing the alt groups. I always had the impression that usenet was still pretty much underground in the file sharing world and not really touched by crap that affects other forms of filesharing. Which is why I chose to pay for it. I guess I was wrong. So I'm not real familiar with the scene or newzbin...but that's why I signed up for this board.

Thanks for the advice zot...I will look into that.

Guessing from the avatar, fluke is using Grabit?

Grabit doesn't work with fill servers like Blocknews.

And if you are looking for files released in the last few days you can use this setup for free: http://just4today.net/

Only problem is two connections and the speed isn't great, but it is free.

Hello Guys,

I am also a newbie to this, and I have been having the same problem as what the original poster posted, but with a couple of music files (6 to be exact, totaling just 65 Mbs). I am using binverse, and everytime I try to DL the file, it seems like it is going to start downloading, then I get the "Article not found" error.

It seems like the files are 654 days old, so I dunno if it was taken down or whatever, or maybe I am not looking in the right news group?

Again, I am very new to all of this, and I would really truly appreciate any help you guys may offer.

If it is any help, here is the file that I am looking for:

Please help, and thanks!

They are all fine on Astraweb, but they are almost definitely outside of Binverse's retention, which is 500 days.

Sorry if this is a noob question, but how can I DL them from AstraWeb? Do I need another DL client? input it into binverse?

Astraweb is a different provider than Binverse, so if you really wanted old files like this, you'd have to sign up with them and use another client (as in not binverses own client).

Ok, thanks! Can you guarantee me that I will be able to DL this file on Astraweb? I don't want to have to pay $10, and not have the file available. To tell you the truth, this is the only file that I am really interested in downloading... As of today anyways...

If you want to stick with binverse and only want a one off download, use a block account with another high retention provider. These files are on astraweb atm, but I'm not sure about a block account provider they'd be on because I don't ever need to use them. Blocknews, usenet-news? Someone else might know.

eta; haha, just got a look at binverses prices.. eek.

They are gone from Highwinds servers (usenet-news.net, etc.).
