Article Not Found problems

[TomJay1979]

Dear All,

I am very much a newbie to all this so I apologise in advance for this if it is a daft questions.

Essentially, I am having issues with downloading a file from Usenet. In total there are about 80 parts of which a handfall give me the error message Atricle Not Found when I try to download them. What is odd however is that a small portion of the file will download normally between 4 and 10 % before this message appears.

What I am wondering is, does any one no of a solution to this as I have notice the same thing happens on other files I try t download.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like it has been removed from your providers servers = DMCA take down request. Your provider has no other options than to comply with them or face fines.

Hi,

Mnay thanks for the reply but if it was a DMCA request would that not mean all the files were taken off as oppsoed to just a few?

How old is the file?
Is it close to, or over, your provider's retention?

hi,

The file is about 500 days old, and another one i'm trying is just over a year.

Many thanks

Who is your newsgroups provider?
That would mean for example Giganews, Astraweb, etc.?
