Also known as: re-post
Posting a file again because the original set has decayed past repair or was removed. A repost gets fresh Message-IDs and a new date, so old NZB files still point at the dead articles and a new NZB must be fetched. Requests for reposts were once made in the group itself; on modern binary groups the practice is far less visible.
