Newsgroup binaries - majority incomplete recently
If anyone here is using the virgin newsgroups for grabbing files from, are you getting a lot of incompletes over the last couple of days?
The vast (>99%) of files are significantly incomplete for me, and just wondered how it was for others...

Re: Newsgroup binaries - majority incomplete recently
Just seen there's been some disk failure, and poor relay from peers, if anyone is interested

Re: Newsgroup binaries - majority incomplete recently
you need a good newsgroup provider, Newshosting is superb, less than 8 quid a month and 70 day retention with 99% completion, ive been using them for years

Re: Newsgroup binaries - majority incomplete recently
To be honest it may well come to that, if only to increase the scope of groups, but I want Virgin to fix theirs on point of principle.
I'm not holding my breather, naturally

Re: Newsgroup binaries - majority incomplete recently
Are there any semi-decent free newsgroup providers ?
Cheers
