I finally got Blocknews a few days ago, for the few missing blocks
that could be fatal to a download.
And I don't know why I didn't do so years ago...
99% of the files could always be repeared with the repairfiles, but
for some posts I had sometimes just a few blocks failing.
I now have for backup Blocknews, together with Astraweb, and should
say that I downloaded some 10 DVD's since the last days (some posted
as early as 2010) and I don't miss a single block anymore!!!
This is so much better. Wanted to say thank you again.
