Why are there so many instances of missing parts on c.b.i.p? Just today: PC-OMEGA SUPPORT files - Part 2 only KFORTUNE - Part 2 only SFS - Parts 1 thru 4 and 6 Where do these parts get lost? How can the problem be corrected? --- Tom Beattie att!hoqaa!twb t.w.beattie@att.com

Our site didn't receive these either. If someone out there did receive them, could you please re-post them somewhere, say maybe alt.sources?

There are some serious connectivity problems with some Arpanet hosts.
Rahul, I suggested you have a chat with the SysAdmin at iuvax. He told
me last week that his purdue connection wasn't working.
Rahul, there are ways to bypass this route. If you're interested, send me
mail.

Here as well. Lots of things are coming up missing -- but only in comp.binaries.ibm.pc! For example, all 20 parts of Omega showed up here, intact. What's going on?

Even a follow-up article to a similar complaint that I sent out a few weeks ago seems to have fallen into the same black hole. To repeat the essence of that, we get only about two thirds of what is posted (e.g. parts 1 and 2 of zoo2.0, parts 2 and 3 of zoo2.01 on its first post, etc. Frustrating, to say the least). I wonder if one or several of the "backbone" sites are getting so overloaded that they periodically "throw up their hands in despair" and simply rm or "mail nul" everything in their transfer queues. > How can the problem be corrected? No idea; I'm a user, not a net guru. Any ideas, news gurus? Could us users help somehow, say by not posting so much (but communication is the reason for the net ...), or can we cut out some of the "noise" groups (but the "noise" groups are generally fun for at least a few of us, or they wouldn't exist), or .... I'm stuck there. Carry on, netlanders. Harold Corwin -- Harold G.

I am a user on iuvax, which is the newsfeed for the machine that c.b.i.p. lives on (bsu-cs). There has been some difficulty lately in communications, so that these missing pieces never even got to first base (that's us), let alone out to the rest of you. Both Rahul and my site's news admin. are aware of the problem. disclaimer: This posting is a figment of your imagination; you are a figment of mine.

Count this as a vote for a repost of vpic part 2 (to comp.binaries.ibm.pc) Robin. disclaimer: this article intentionally left non-blank.
