There is no gap on the Microsoft server. Maybe, there is a gap on your
ISP's newsserver (hsd1.il.comcast.net).
Using WNXP SP2 Outlook Express.
Reset the newsgroups and see if the gap persists.

Either you didn't access the newsgroups for a period and the messages were
no longer on your news service server when you did (they don't keep messages
on there for ever waiting for you to download them, it is a time based
retention), or there may have been a problem. Ask your service provider if
you are interested enough and suspect the latter.

In Outlook Express select Tools, Options, Maintenance, Clean Up Now. Click
on the Browse button, select the newsgroup and click on Reset. This removes
all messages so that you can download again. Your missing messages should
appear.
The way you synchronise ( download messages ) needs to suit you.
However, when you set up a new newsgroup check the box in Tools,
Options, Read, Get xxx headers at a time (you can change the default to
any number between 50 and 999). Set the synchronisation to New not All.
Then select Tools, Get next xxx headers, after downloading has completed
select Tools, Mark for Offline and then select Synchronise, Newsgroup
and only those Marked. Remove the check mark in Tools, Options, Read,
Get xxx headers at a time. For all future downloads use Synchronise,
preferably Synchronise All. Using the procedure described for a large
newsgroup avoids downloading thousands of messages you may never read.
Another option if you read Online is to make your Synchronisation option
Headers only. You then select and download bodies for only those
messages you intend to read. Yet another alternative if you read
Offline, is to use Headers only and then to Mark selected Headers whilst
Offline and then Synchronise for marked messages reading the selected
messages later Offline.

Hope this helps.

There isn't. You must have your options set incorrectly, or you aren't
using the msnews.microsoft.com servers and are getting these groups
through your ISP instead and there's an issue with their NNTP server.
