No such article

03 Oct 23: One server was relocated, the server currently doesn't have a public IP address since in the meantime it is running on starlink. I wrote some additional tunnel code running separately to handle this. When the server is engaged the connection is 5600+ days uniform (since around 24 July 2008). In the unlikely case I disengaged the server because of some problem the retention is 1200-3800 days depending on newsgroup. If you experience any issue please let me know.

29 Nov 23: Because of encrypted and obfuscated posts flood mass posted by a few nzb indexing websites using usenet servers as private storage for their members to download the posts - the situation with the content is pretty chaotic since their purpose is to post in such a way, so users must use their website exclusively, when the website disappears - the encrypted posts just eat usenet providers' hard disk space uselessly. If you can't find something specific please let me know at alexbirj at gmail dot com what exactly you can't find for me to check how it is possible to retain the posts. Non-obfuscated posts shouldn't be affected at all, let me know if you notice anything missing.

29 Nov 23: The search protocol had to be upgraded to extend 3 byte (16M+) limit on the server side for number of sets per instance, so at least the version 5.8.3 is needed to access it, otherwise should be no any difference.

no such article means maybe your server doesn't have the article bodies, also if they are very recent they may arrive a little later since indexing server feeds and your particular news server may be different.

it also might be a problem with corrupted news server message-id index (when server can download by article number but cannot download by message-id, since article numbers are specific to every server, indexing server cannot have them, if you are able to download the bodies after creating the "article number" destination type newsgroup, changing properties->articles, download bodies method to "article number" and downloading headers into it from your news server seeing them and only then managing to download article bodies it is such problem specific to your news server then).
