You may need a program like Uncook, Phix or Detox to repair your files. They are available at: http://www.layer3.org/software/fileutils.html and http://www.mp3.com/software/utilities.

You may need a program like Uncook, Phix or Detox to repair your files. They are available at: http://software.mp3.com/software/ (select the utilities for your OS). I know *where* to look for the MP3s, but I can’t find any complete MP3 files. Well, if you are using your newsreader correctly, the problem is probably your ISP or, more specifically, your news server. If you consistently see incomplete files, your news server is probably not receiving all of the parts that are necessary to get a complete file. The solution? Either find a new ISP or look into an additional pay-news server. Information on ISPs can be found at http://thelist.internet.com/ Some popular pay-newsservers are Altopia, Giganews, Newscene, Newsguy, Easynews and Airnews.
