Also known as: incomplete post, incomplete file set
A file set missing more articles than the available PAR2 blocks can rebuild. Causes include articles that aged past retention and propagation gaps that left parts of the post on some servers only. Adding a second provider on a different backbone often fills the gap, since the missing articles may exist elsewhere. Otherwise the release has to be found again or reposted.
