Yes, two actually but thanks for asking. In fact I don't often use
Astraweb and mostly download using the free subscription to
Newshosting provided by my ISP. The only catch is it's rate-limited to
4 threads @ 756Kbps. If there's a lot in the queue or I get impatient
I'll kick in a few threads from Astraweb to max out the connection.
When Astraweb is good it's very good but in my experience it's not
possible to use them reliably without providing an alternate server.
As this post shows close isn't good enough.
Fortunately anyone can make the whole problem go away for a long time
with around 10 bucks by adding a block account. The only trouble is
getting your wallet out. :/

The real trouble is the OP failed to mention PAR shows this post is
only 2 blocks short.
I appreciate the offer but I already had this one done. I downloaded
it again from Astraweb to see how broken it was and to generate PAR to
fix it but see the OP was able to get it all along. Plus it's already
been reposted so I just pitched it out.
