Me too but the speed is only about 20% so that wouldn't really work
for me anyway. What I usually use allows multiple servers and I
checked out using us.astraweb as the main and eu.astraweb as a
secondary but haven't done enough downloading to tell if it helped.

Thanks again for contacting them. It helps if you're not the first one
they heard from about a problem so it helps.

I could even deal with incompletes if I knew about it beforehand. What
I find unacceptable is getting the overview (get headers) and it shows
a post is complete.  Sometimes when you go to actually download it
they can't find articles the overview said they have.

Like you sometimes the missing ones are on the EU server sometimes
they're not.
