Article Not Found problems

Ok. I have an odd request: Can I pay you to DL the files for me? I can pay you half before and half after transmission?

I've been looking for these tunes for a loooong time, and would hate to be disappointed if they don't work on astraweb...

If you accept, I will be forever grateful. If you don't, that's fine too. I thought it was worth a shot to ask, lol.

(Hope I am not upsetting any moderators... If this is not allowed, i'll be more than happy to delete the post. I just really really really need these tunes...)

Thanks!

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.

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!

Yes, as in more than one member of the forum.

Elaborate on your original post a little bit.

Astraweb, obviously. Maybe ericab would like elaborate on this post:

Thanks to all those who came to help, but I've sorted it out, Giganews is clearly the way forward, glad to see i', not going mad on the message thing as well, I was begining to worry! lol
 
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.
 
giganews should be a fine choice, as long as your aware there are cheaper alternatives out there, as well as the fact that since they are the largest provider they are more effected by removal notices. just in the past week, ive noticed supenews (a reseller of giganews) has had many missing article problems; and its getting very annoying.

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?
 
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!
 
Thanks. Just downloaded and installed Unzbin. I entered the astraweb sever name, and my username and password... Where do I go to DL the files I am looking for??
