Are they any good?

Anyone got a group count?

Do they carry all/most of the -mucky- binary groups ;-)?

Yes but you will rarely find complete multi part posts.

Cheers for the reply. Is it really that bad for multi parts?

Once a news-server gets the least bit flaky, it tends to be in multi-parts
that it shows up on first.

Even if 95% of the messages are there, with a 50 part binary, you'll only
get a complete binary around half the time.

Yep, on all binaries, not just the mucky ones.
