more and more shows having missing articles, agree?

I'm recently seeing more tv shows that are becoming unavailble in usenet. They are grabbed, but cannot be completed due to missing articles. Most of them are new tv shows. Any way I can validate this?

Yes. Reason: DMCA-takedown-notices.

Possible workaround: use a few different newsservers from different news providers. Or just one news provides not influenced by the Americam DMCA stuff, so a pure non-American news provider (if you can find that).

I don't know what you mean with "validate".

In that case, can you recommend a newsgroup provider that is not quickly influenced by DMCA? I am currently using newshosting. I believe several other providers are re-branded but still owned by newshosting?

This issue has become a big problem for me, some half of my downloads are failing on less than 30 days on the indexer. I am willing to invest in another newsgroup provider if someone has a recommendation to workaround this DMCA issue.

I don't think I'm the right person to recommend ... I don't download shows. Anyway, FWIW: I use Eweka, newszilla and one or two other obscure providers.
