Well, my friend, I don't know what you're doing, but I just downloaded
all three files from the nzb's on NZBClub. All the nzb's gave me a
full set of RAR's and PAR's. All three sets of RAR's downloaded
properly and extracted properly. I now have three working files on my
hard drive, all of which play properly on VLC player. No clickbait to
be found, no disappearing files, no passwords. Everything working
according to Hoyle.
All that said, and pardon me for asking what may seem like a stupid
question, but why did you populate your NZB's into Alt.Binz? All of
the files are uploaded to alt.binaries.teevee. When I opened the NZB's
into Agent, the RAR's and PAR's went into alt.binaries.teevee by
default. Are you populating your NZB's into the wrong group? If so, no
wonder they 'disappeared' when you tried to download. The files are
not on Alt.Binz.
Why not give it another try and populate your NZB's to the proper
newsgroup.
