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:

: Users hit by Demon Internet overload. 
:
: [snip]
: Delays of at least 24 hours in receiving E-mail have been experienced by 
: some customers ....
: [snip]
: The company said it has been a victim of its own success,
: [snip]
: It said it had not anticipated this level of traffic and consequently did
: not have the capacity on its servers to handle it.
: The E-mail delays follow problems over a number of months with Demon 
: Internet's news servers, which have suffered hardware failures, 
: problems with telecommunications links and a software bug in the 
: Sun Solaris 5 Sparc servers.
: Despite the problems, Demon Internet added a new feature to its service
: this week, offring customers free audio facilities for their Web pages, 
: something the company says is not offered by any other service provider.
