    This is weird. I tried Eweka like a year ago, when starting out with usenet and testing different providers / indexers. I’m not sure whether I was able to download even a single file - almost everything was failing due to missing articles. I ended up staying with Frugal Usenet where the missing articles were much less of a problem during my tests. What could be the reason considering the data here shows Eweka is just amazing?

      This is just a guess, but all Usenet providers get copyright requests. Some are slow at deleting and some are fast Eweka is probably fsst which is why a lot was missing. For very old files it doesn’t matter since most don’t get copyright requests for them.
