Reason problem: The NZB is not fully compatible with the Spotnet protocol. As a result part of the NZB can't be downloaded (in this case 6%). Some newsreaders can't use the NZB because it isn't a valid XML.

Current solutions: 1- Use a newsreader accepting an invalid NZB. 1- Download the par2 files mentioned in the retrieved NZB for repair. 2- The missing part can be found on usenet index sites by searching with the filename without filetype. 3- Use SpotLite to show the filename and search on sites like Binsearch. 4- Use Spotplanet to retrieve a valid NZB.

Request: Support for this kind of problem spots. Remark: The current NZB is better than no NZB.
