Ok, I'm kind of a newbie on usenet. I got in here to look at the possibiilities of finding my missing Vlad sets. And, I've got to say they both struggle (Giga and Astra) and I finally started using them in combination. Really helps with the RAR/PAR issues. I also use 3 readers because they really all suck. They are Mimo (Came free with Giga so why not), NewsbinPro(Has some nice features for going back to certain dates), and Grabit(A beast for getting those hard to get sets, recommended by Weener). And between the 3, albeit more effort on my part, I get almost anything I want. If I could just figure out how to make one of them do everything life would be simple.
Lucky
P.S. It's really weird the way it works, using Mimo and Giga in 2008-9 stuff works good, and Astra doesn't. But, Giga can't get shit from 2010 forward and Astra works good there.
