I assume you mean that the files you wanted were no longer in
comp.binaries.amiga on your machine at Rochester.  This is normal, as
most sites expire such articles after a certain amount of time (the
default is two weeks, though many sites expire them sooner due to disk
constraints).

Your system administrator might be able to get the backarticles for
you from a backup tape (if your sysadmin backs-up news).  But since
you're on the Internet, you can just ftp the binaries from a
comp.binaries.amiga archive site (such as xanth.cs.odu.edu).

Hope this helps...
