Dunno. I've been using GN for years and I still don't seem to have
much in the way of problems downloading newly posted stuff. I use a
block account for backup, but it only seems to get used (my account
decreasing) when I download older posts. But YMMV.
That said, PAR's should always accompany any upload, IMHO.
