If someone uploads 1-6 I'll have enough with the pars to fll in the rest. Uploading them again should allow them to be available for me, I'm not sure why they aren't there now tho.


In Grabit you need to make sure that the red "page" icon is clicked. When you first install, it's not. (The help bubble is, "Push this button to show unmarked items that contain multiple articles which are not all present on the news server.") Also, I've had problems doing incrementals that miss content- this can be corrected with a full update.

Finally, if a par2 file has known missing parts (as opposed to bad parts only found when decoded), you have to remove the [Incomplete Grab] part of the filename that GrabIt puts in there, at least for QuickPar to recognize the par. You do not have to remove the [Incomplete Grab] for the actual content files.

Last time I tried Agent (free or trial of full) it didn't do multiple connections per server; does it now? GrabIt does do multiple connections. It isn't as slick as Newsleecher, but it is free.
