    Oh yes, lots and lots. It seems to have now been corrected (somewhat, I guess I could take a few hours and....) but interestingly enough (!!) ....

    Some of the folks are pointing fingers at what I tripped over, a malware attack that got 'into the works', so to speak.

    Those lazy 'web masters' maybe didn't keep up their attention (again, this last weekend comes to mind), and kerplunk!

    Who knows, again, seems to be running okay right now, and from what I can see a large number of the 'holes' have been filled in.
    Hopefully lots to all.

    A number of my posts are coming up as terribly incomplete when searched on newzleech, but all fine on binsearch, you think those will eventually get filled? I don't know how to compare this to header downloads, I don't do headers myself

    Check back on Newzleech, that's what I first used and tons are being 'updated' and complete or nearly complete (only like .1% off or so), so I'd say yes.

    Of course, some 12 hrs from now when I'm into SERIOUS d/l'ing, the proof will be in how well it goes.

    EDIT: In looking back hard about 4 days ago or so (12-13th) it appears that there are still some serious gaps in their headers, whereas those from the 14th-15th are 'filled in'. So, perhaps the 'work goes on', but the proof will be in the d/l'ing, like I said.

    remember most of the auto-posters and posters use Astraweb and was having issues last week, incomplete should be fixed for now, just remember the majority use Astra for posting.
