When he was on Newsbin 5.53 it was really bad.
The clamour got him up to 5.54 which partly fixed it.
He just needs to make one more upgrade.
All would be well with 5.55.
I was hoping he would see my post made while he was posting when he went
back to check for incompletes.
You are right about the "shitty server" but not the way you mean. He is
posting to Giganews. Giganews should be rejecting ALL his malformed
attachments!
I suspect however that the problem with the incompletes is that he has an
unstable connection corrupting or failing to complete parts and then
Newsbin not waiting for the confirm/error message from GN before going on
to the next part. Agent does not handle them properly either, so if it is
more than one or two items, best go to Powerpost (which he uses in ABPS).
