I don't want to sound offensive, but you missed the (admittedly
subtle) message in the posting you replied to.  It was basically that
a repost isn't necessary unless the problem is widespread.  Let your
system administrator know you didn't get it -- he should check with
his upstream feeds.  You received the other parts, why not send a
message to the author listed in part01 asking for the missing part?

It's a waste to repost something if you're the only one needing it.
It's still a waste even if you aren't the only one.
