In the past I have successfully requested and received SIMTEL files
from the list server at Nodak.  Recently, however, I haven't been
receiving the last message in the set.  If the file is mailed in
n parts, I get parts 1/n through (n-1)/n, but the last part, n/n
never seems to get all the way here.

I realize that net mail is not totally reliable.  But this has
happened three times out of the last four files I have requested.

Has anyone else experienced this problem on a regular basis?

Does anyone know if there is a way to request just one part of
a multipart file?

Does anyone know where problems like this should be reported, or
how I might possibly figure out where the problem is?

Thanks in advance for your help.
