My guess would be that the xover records for the middle range has all expired (which is typical for an nntpcache server). To verify that, just do a manual xover directly to the remote server. The fact that they're empty is a bug in the xover code. It doesn't write out the changes if no new xover info were received. > When I closed my connection and asked again for that xover range, all the > null files were removed.

There is somoe bugs in the xover code that might cause this. Please test my next patch when it is ready. > Any ideas as to what it could be doing? Well basically the problem is that the xover info has expired remotely, and your nntpcache server is not remembering this fact due to a bug in xover.c. -- Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 is out!
