I can't get this to download on http://simplyusenet.co.uk and I'm having loads of other recent releases failing to be available completely.

Such as Dexter and The Walking Dead. Usually at least two of the .r0x files are missing and others incomplete.

So if you can try this download and tell me what your provider is I can use that as ammunition against my provider.

(PS. That's actually an nzb file just renamed to .txt so I can add it as an attachment)

You're going to use evidence that others can download illegal TV rips and you can't against your provider? Good luck with that.

I'm not saying to them precisely what I can't download, I'm just checking that the file is downloadable with other providers.

I'm pretty sure that conversation will go "I can't download a file!"
"What file?"
"I'm not telling you!"
"Er. Okay. Bye then."

Dont people still use PAR files ?

If so you use a PAR program and download a few PAR files to catch any missing parts of the RAR

(I havent used Usenet in any serious way in a long time although i'm tempted by the sickbeard stuff)

Yes, and NZBs will automate their use.

Yes indeed. And there's not enough complete rar bits for the pars to work. :/

I know what you mean Grim... but I just figure that it helps to complain and suggest that I'll move to another provider. I just really want to know that it's not usenet lacking and just my provider.
