I have a problem with Alt.Binz 0.46.0.2 when downloading. When I get a NZB from for example OMGWTFNZB's or spotnet it's not always compleet after download. First I thought is was because of Notice and Takedown (Which sometimes is, but not now) or it was related to my newsserver, but then I tried to redownload the same NZB and saw alt.binz making mistakes on other .rar files then before. So I tried Grabit and it was compleet. Then after that I tried alt.binz again and it was also compleet.

So as a workaround i make copies of the NZB, so i can try again later if something went wrong. Mostly after three tries I have a compleet file. This never happened before.
I have it on multiple files, al different. But for example also with a serie. I downloaded 10 episodes and after the first try, 3 episodes were compleet. After redownloading a couple of times all ten are now compleet. I can tell you which serie, but maybe not here ;-)

Hope you can help me!

Detailed logs?
Pointers to post?

Without those, there is nothing I can do.

Log is full of 430 errors.
Since I know your provider now (from logs) I can tell you that I switched from same provider due to same type of errors. Articles are unavailable and then after some time, articles are there (obviously they are backfilling it from somewhere)

I can only recommend you set up few retries on 430 errors and wait time between them (setup->Connection retry count & delay) or change of usenet provider. I did the second thing and couldn't be happier with the current one.

pm send. Okay i can make those changes for retry & delay. But the file in question is about 370 days old. Do they backfill when a file is requested or something?

Obviously when the file is requested.
BTW what happens with 1-2 days old articles?

As far as I know no problems with them. When i think of it problem only occurs when older.

Okay I tested it again with the retries (retry count and delay settings) and that works. So it seems my newsserver is the problem, but for now this setting works.

Thanks for the help Rdl!! ;D 8)
