Large downloads gradually stop before completion--No errors

I have access to several Newsfeeds servers and one ISP server. I mark all parts of a large file for download. The download begins properly with parts being downloaded from all servers at my maximum bandwidth. Often after a few/several minutes the Newsfeeds servers are gradually dropped and eventually only my ISP server is downloading at its regulated low bandwdth. Simply clicking on "Download and save" will restart the process but the Newsfeed servers will soon be dropped again.
No errors are indicated. The problem is occuring more frequently lately.

I'm not sure what is going on and whether this is a server problem or my setup or somthing else. Any suggestions would be helpfull.

Best

there is no console like in newspro (yet?), but you can find the last error in the header properties (select entry, context menu->properties from anywhere), it is somewhere on the top. as long as there is chance to download an article it will stay in the article task queue and won't enter the article task error pane in the task manager.

if the error is "no such article" you can check it more thorougly, let me know i'll explain how, they had a problem in the past (also with other contemporary newsreaders) but they fixed it around october last year and i didn't hear user complaints since then, so maybe now they just don't have the articles.
