I'm very new to the whole usenet concept, and I followed a guide on how to set up / use Alt.Binz.
I set up the server info of my isp, and it connects.
Then I searched for "Overlord" (the game) using the Yabse tab.
Lots of results popped up, and the first thing I noticed is, how do you know whether it's the PC version or the Xbox360 version (it's not mentioned in the filename).
Then I decided to use BinSearch to search for it.
I found a PC version there, which I decided to download.
This is the url:
http://www.binsearch.info/?b=rld-over&g=alt.binaries.games&p=Yenc%40power-post.org+%28Post4Ever-Crew%29&max=250
Now, I selected all the checkboxes and hit "create NZB".
I saved the NZB file to my desktop, and opened it in Alt.Binz.
At first I thought it was working, cause the meter progressed, but then after it reached 100%, I noticed my download folder was still empty.
I checked the log, and it had 430 errors all around.
Why are those errors occurring, and what do I do about it ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

430 Article not found, which means the articles couldn't be found on your ISP's server, which means the posts were older than your ISP's retention period.
ISP's usually have crappy retention, you need a proper news service provider.

Since you can download free nzb's, I would also use the free registration at newzbin.com to search for and view their edited reports, and to use their v3 site (change www in URL to v3) to read any comments which might point to problems or fixes needed for game posts. This particular post has a bunch of comments.
