Nope, that is not the case.

I understand what you're saying. But you are jumping to conclusions. I do
use a "premium" newsserver, and they have excellent retention for large
files. I like them *MUCH* more than Easynews. They cost more than Easynews,
but I have unlimited D/L, and (when they are working) they generally do
have 100% of the files.
But they had technical problems (hard disk failure in a RAID array) this
last week, and apparently missed a chunk of data.
Thanks again for your help.
well, now that I have some info, you're right - I did conclude the
normal presumption when people say their server "lost'' files
after one or two days. We've all heard that thousands of times
and normally what I deducted is right. I stand corrected. BUT
your first message didn't indicate "giganews" in the header info
as this current one, so it wasn't too much of a leap to guess
as I did. : )))
I'm glad it all worked out for you.
best wishes,
barry~
