Lately on Astraweb, content that has been removed due to DMCA isn't deleted from the server but rather replaced with txt files containing a message saying removed due to DMCA, they aren't just small text files either, they are the exact size of the original file. If you are supposed to be downloading a .rar or .r01 etc, it would be helpful if Alt.Binz detected that it was getting txt files rather than rar files and stopped the download.
I can provide a DMCA'd nzb file if you need a sample.
