I see that none of you responders seem able to reply directly to the person to
whom you wish to speak. So there might be a competency issue here.
As far as Newsguy is concerned, I receive most of my requests for additional
.PAR2's from users of that service.
The problem with Astraweb is that it can't handle modern posting settings. When
I first addressed this issue with them nearly a year ago, they had a 512 KB
limit on their article size! In response to my complaint, they increased that
limit by nearly a factor of 3, but it still pales in comparison to any other NSP
of which I am aware. Here is the link to that discussion:
