Every NZB was valid when posted ... although I cannot comment on your particuliar Astraweb problem, I
I can assure you that there is at least one other provider that can deliver a 100% complete download
of the oldest NZB (well over 400 days old) .... today ... therefore one would assume that the
"younger" ones should be available as well.
The recent post that you have commented on should have no impact on retention here. The better
providers are building retention daily and these few GB files won't be a problem. There are 100's of
TB's of spam posted monthly ... these few GB's are a drop in the bucket.
Once retention is confirmed in the other group I would assume that the larger files will be posted
there.
If you are not satisfied with the services of your provider it would be a good time to spend your
money elsewhere, or at the very least pick up a small account elsewhere to fill the gaps.
