Probably a server error...

Yes,

probably incomplete files.

maybe the speedxs server, or another cheap server.
won't happen that often with servers like newshosting.

You might try using another good payserver as a backup server. So the program takes missing parts from that good payserver.

That payserver does not have to be fast, because it is only be used for small parts of files. So this means you can save some money here.

Strange enough this sometimes happens if the frontends of the Usenet Provider acts up. I had this a couple of times with Newshosting (although they are overall excellent). Using the search service and downloading from there works 100%.
