I am not really sure about this, but it may be that Giga have set their
capping to a certain message size, since it would be very involved to filter
binaries based on a possible file extension to be found either in the
subject line or in the body of the message. In these other groups, can you
see jpg files larger than, say, 16KiB? That would seem like a 'decent' size
to cap at. Very few, if any, text messages would be this large.
Another thought: is there a common denominator between these groups that
don't work? If so, would it be that they all are/were known as 'boy groups'
(like e.g. this one)? Giga are very LEA-friendly... Perhaps the groups that
are still 'working' for you, just haven't been brought to their attention
yet.
Not much help, I'm afraid :(
