I use binsearch.info, and that is part of the problem. My NSP sometimes 
doesn't have all the message parts even when binsearch indicates that 
the post is complete. I assume that this is because binsearch is 
indexing a different server than the one I am using. Doesn't happen very 
often.

I got curious about this because of the "crazy christmas lights" post. 
Looks like my NSP is missing lots of parts, but the NZB I got from 
binsearch looks OK. Maybe something more is going on here.

Thanks,

John
