Did you unsubscribe and resubscribe all your blocknews groups?
Blocknews moved some/all of the groups to a new server, and assigned new article numbers to all the posts in all the groups they moved.  This messed with the continuity of the article numbers I captured in my database.  I fixed that, but they should've kept the old numbers.
But they also dropped alt.comp.os.windows-11, and lost all the old articles dating back to Nov 2021.
And the new server seems very slow - whereas I used to submit a post and it was available 2-3 seconds later, now I won't get it from the server for 10 minutes sometimes.
It's a letdown after years of stellar blocknews service.
