More and more missing blocks, solution?

Hi,

Since I can remember I'm using astraweb. Recently there are many shows missing blocks. So I bought tweaknews and I was able to "recover" few files but my luck didn't lasted long.
Last two weeks even more shows are lacking insane amount of parts. So I've tried newshosting. Running with setup 2xastraweb (en,us), tweaknews (backup) and newshosting I'm still getting a lot of broken files.
What I have observed is even when using only newshosting most of the downloads Article identifier is pointing eu.news.astraweb.com (example 1358652672.80771.55@eu.news.astraweb.com)
What is the best combo these days?

I would say the best (practical) solution is to download before a DMCA takedown notice is issued and executed.

Or find an obscure spot forum with its own spots under unknown names

Most of the files are missing just huge amount of parts. DMCA on the other hand are taking out everything, SAB will inform that file is out of retention.
So maybe there is better solution then astraweb.

Article ID-s are determined by the news server to which the post has been uploaded.
So for these, the poster used Astraweb.
