Sorry, but that's not how Usenet works. Bob Page sends out the binary files.
Those files get sent to machines all over the world, yours included. They 
are then *on your machine's hard disk*. If they disapeared, it means that
someone on your machine deleted them (probably to conserve space). 
You need to talk to your system administrator to see if he can restore them. 

They will not be re-sent out. That would mean duplicating the files to
all of the machines that already have it. A big waste of money.
If you can't get your system administrator to put the files back up for you,
maybe you can talk someone else out in netland to e-mail the files to you.

don't understand how usenet works]
