Pre-check says incomplete, yet binsearch shows complete?

Post by wilG »

G'day all :P

Just a quick and simple question, and I apologize if this has been asked before and I overlooked that: I want to download a 600 days old file, 28GB. It shows as complete in binsearch, yet when Sab is doing the pre-check, it says it is only 83% available. I have an 1100 days provider, and although the 1100 is a lie ( ;D ), 600 days shouldn't be a problem as it never has been.

Why the difference between binsearch and Sab, would anybody know this?

Thank you in advance :P

G'day!

Binsearch only checks shortly after the post is uploaded. It doesn't re-check old posts. And on top of that, binsearch does not check *your* newsservers provider.

So between 600 days ago on binsearch's server, and now on your news providers servers, articles have gone missing, very possibly due to a DMCA takedown.
