Thanks very much for taking the time. I don't know of an e-mail address
for support they have always asked people use the web site.
"For customer support please use our ticketed helpdesk system:
http://helpdesk.astraweb.com "
Looking back you'll notice the other post JC made 2/28 was incomplete
also. The first episode of "Songs Of The South" posted 2/21 was
incomplete as well and on a Saturday also. (It needs 11 blocks more than
were provided.)

Great, as long as you got it. It's unusual for a news reader to not show
it's version but if whatever you use allows it adding them as an
alternate may fix this in the future. Another option is to add either
eu.astraweb.com or us.astraweb.com as an alternate too, depending on
where your connection defaults to. Sometimes the EU server has things the
US server doesn't.
Thanks again for reporting the issue I'll contact them as well. Since
they're already made I'll post extra PARs. When I downloaded it to check
QuickPar said it was 2 blocks short even using those provided.
Regards,
