I've had good luck with Motzarella, though I do get server busy messages from them sometimes due to the fact that more and more people are discovering them and signing up. I can't recall seeing other types of errors. If you're getting "incomplete" messages it sure sounds like there was some binary attachment to the message, or that the message is itself a binary - very likely a photo. I think that groups that are primarily text may sometimes have binaries too - though I'm not sure about that. Motzarella does not store binaries. Although I prefer using a news server to using a web server, there are web interfaces to news that you might use as a last resort. If you go to http://groups.google.com you'll find the most heavily used one. It allows you to post as well as to read news. I don't know if they carry the groups you're interested in or not. Google also does not store binaries. If you get errors on the same messages there, that's a sign that there is a problem with the message, not with the particular server or with your software.
