Old Files Incomplete
« on: August 05, 2009, 11:39:42 am »
I am trying to download some 277 days files from alt.binaries.boneless, problem is they always become incomplete. I am on astraweb which offers 350 day retention, so I thought this was a bit weird. I have tried downloading the same files using newsleecher, and they download fine, without being incomplete. This happens to any old file I download. Is there any way to solve this? Astraweb said something about articles numbers being larger than a 32 bit signed integer, which is why they were incomplete.

I don't know how, but the problem seems to have gone away. Files that were downloading as incomplete yesterday are downloading with no problems now.
