I've been using Astraweb for a few years now and as far as I'm aware they
have 3 servers: General, US and Eu. I've used both the General and the Eu
servers and they both produce the same results for both a.b. vlad groups.
I only use Astraweb for "deep" searches (you can get back to 2008 for some
stuff)and my ISP news server for everyday stuff (about 4 weeks retention)
along with a free reader (Xnews) and generally this works well. If the
stuff you are looking for exists then I'm sure Astraweb will find it. I
ran a search last night for Vlad vids on a.b. vladmodels using Astraweb and
there is a lot of stuff still available mostly with the original Vlad id
numbers. I also ran a search last week for the Vika custom file you
mentioned without success.
