I guess I wasn't completely clear on that, Jack. TT's posts are,
strangely, completely missing from the web interface. There's no
adjusting. They're just not there. I did the sampling on the NNTP
server, which has them *all*. By "sampling," I mean that I did some
partial downloads of several parts, joined them and viewed the partial
vid, and I also got some random parts and checked their integrity with
the pars. They're all perfect.

My reader of choice is Agent (www.forteinc.com). I've been using it
for about 10 years. It's payware (and worth every penny), but it has a
30 day free trial period to let you scope it out.
Another one that's quite popular (and freeware) is Xnews
(http://xnews.newsguy.com/). I tried it a while back, wasn't overly
thrilled with it, and went back to Agent. But then... I'm a picky
brat...
These are the two most widely used news readers of all, and as a
consequence, expert help with both of them is readily available in
most any group.
