It did. I just didn't indicate with 'what'. (!)
Even though you replied directly to the post, you changed the subject
line. Changing the subject line, even just one character, creates a
new post outside the thread you are addressing.
Is all.

They are corrupted in the sending. Giganews must be having a crackdown
on posting as they have become very judicious in making sure people
post correctly.
This is not a receiving problem, this is a posting problem.

Won't matter. Highwinds are also a judicious server and until the
files are posted correctly, it will continue to happen for many.
You will not be the only one who did not get these files.
Many got them. Many did not.

Absolutely and definitively not.

Correct.

Surprise can post them again.
INDIVIDUALLY.
The problem is posting more than one zip/rar in one posting.
Herself (?) posted three zips in the one post.
Don't do it.
Ever.
One zip/rar --> one post.
This is not email. It doesn't work like email. It never will.
It was created before GenRetarded were even born. It has rules.
Individually posted, they will arrive perfectly.
Surprise is a good poster, this is just a bump in the road.
I know it's fun to shove everything in the mailbox in a burst of
enthusiasm, but the sticky tape always falls off one packet.

No. Surprise just needs to repost them, ONE at a TIME.
It's a rule.

No worries. It's not a huge 'error'. Many will have got these files
and not even know there is a problem.
Many, like you, did not and are waiting for someone to say why!
A repost of the individual zips, and all will be fixed.
