Can someone explain to me what this means?
[12/13 10:55:34] ERROR Downloader: Command Exception NEWS SERVER ERROR: News-US SendCommand - Failed: 430 no such article Cmd: ARTICLE <CzLeOiWdRbZfHzXpScItAtYn-1758622874961@nyuu> News-US

How can that article be missing? That is not the only one that fails in the same download. A whole slew of them show as missing.

Is there a way to fix this or do I just look for another download?

If you haven't already - you can download from both the US server and the European server and from alternative server addresses. I use both EU and US addresses on my news server.

A search for the alternative addresses for Usenetserver gives -


UsenetServer - Usenet Server Addresses



IPv4 (US servers) - news.usenetserver.com
IPv6 (US servers) - news6.usenetserver.com

Available Unencrypted ports: 20, 23, 25, 119, 3128, 7000, 8000 and 9000

SSL (Encrypted Access) ports: 563, 443 and 8080

Usenetserver has some alternative server options that might help in troubleshooting. You are free to experiment with these to try to get better connectivity. The same ports above will apply to these servers...

IPv4 (US servers) - news-us.usenetserver.com
IPv6 (US servers) - news-us6.usenetserver.com

IPv4 (NL servers) - news-eu.usenetserver.com
IPv6 (NL servers) - news-eu6.usenetserver.com

Yes, I've tried all their servers and get the same results.

I am open to other usenet service so feel free to recommend any.

usenetserver.com is one of the better ones and is the same as Newshosting.
Eweka might help but is expensive.

Many articles get taken down within 24 hours or less, so you have to be quick.
Get a few good indexers that have multiple NZBs, and then you have better chances of getting the files.

Most providers now are also trashing articles if they even feel they are spam or not downloaded, and the 6000+ day article retention is BS, as NO provider has that much storage available, so they trash older posts they feel are not used. They need to stop touting the 6000+ day retention and get back to quality 100% completion.
But I'm not sure if that will happen; the numbers make you go, as there's a huge amount now uploaded each day to Usenet.
And it gets worse now with all the 4k uploads, etc.
