:J. Thanks for your reply.

:After I tried the .nzb route, I went old fashioned, dusted off X-News

:This is an Astraweb problem rather than a problem with the original

:then I simply find fills from my backup ISP. The problem with
:Jungfrukallen is that it is now beyond the retention limit of my backup.

:This is not a huge problem. The Criterion world is a fairly small planet
:that will, in time, revolve. Jungfrukallen will be posted once again and
:I will relive the sight of Max Von Sydow dripping in blood, horrific
:when I first saw it many years ago. I'll save my Gigabite trial

:Ansiktet, for instance, or any of the films of the Hungarian director
:Miklos Jansco, to name a few from a very long list.

:I am glad that this group exists to satisfy the cravings of "Criterion
