Exactly. It's been a decade since I've used Usenet but I remember there were always tons of messages complaining, "part43.rar and part62.rar is missing please reupload!!!"
As another anecdote, I personally posted a huge list of AWK one-liners 20 years ago to Usenet (comp.lang.awk) and I can't even retrieve that message. That's just pure ASCII text (probably less than 2k) and even the Google Groups (dejanews acquisition) archives don't have it.
