I don't have any of those series myself, but may I make a simple
suggestion that you get a better Usenet service that has more than a
measly 30 days' retention? LIke maybe five or six years?
In addition to that, you may want to add a block account from someone
like Blocknews or Newsdemon, which can help fill in missing data from
even further back. I use both of those two services, and can get
complete downloads from as far back as early 2009 when used in
conjunction with Forte, and before that even with Giganews.
If you want to play Big Time on Usenet, especially files in the video
newsgroups, you really need to step up to the plate and get a
competent Usenet service, and at least one block account backup.
Also consider using an indexer like NZBKing, which while not complete,
does track many posts going back almost ten years.
Just some thoughts.
