incomplete posts...well that is where 10%-15% par2 files come in (to be revealed at a later time)

...and group retention is awesome (20+ days or more) on the pay server that I use that costs me about $12 a month. Most ISPs offer usenet for free in any case. It's an incredibly versatile and time-saving way to share large files.

This is gonna be fun...stay tuned.
