430 Error, no such article
Reg Hems
On 30 Dec 01:25 I downloaded 65 articles, but Voyager window log showed:
four /430 error, no such article/ messages.
Stepping through the !# rnews file (Newnews - weld) shows 4 missing
messages (c.s.a.m 47295-47298):

Anybody lost any messages down the black hole? Demon perhaps?
Read in Computer Weekly, 28 Nov 1996, page 16:

: Despite the problems, Demon Internet added a new feature to its service

Me too!

4 out of 6 I've posted recently have disappeared.
If you don't receive this then change that to 5 out of 7.

Audio facilities? What are they that's so rare?

Yes, I had this too!
The 430 error usually indicates postings that have subsequently been
cancelled (perhaps a group of SPAMS?), leaving "gaps" in the numbering.
As to a Demon black hole - actually I think there is a more general
Usenet black hole. Think what interesting things you could find in it!

I think that refers to realtime streaming audio such as RealAudio
and Shockwave rather than just .wav or .au.

I think they're RealAudio streams, but don't quote me on that....
