For those using Eternal Septemper, did something go wrong with this
group?

I think you mean Eternal September, not "Septemper", a typo?

Maybe that was the problem, I was connected to the wrong server,
Eternal Septemper.

Almost all of my headers and articles disappeared, I had only 200
items, 60 of them had length zero but were locked, 40 of them had
various statuses and had lenghts up to 2 million, and only about 40
looked normal.

I deleted all but the 40 normal ones and dl'd 1000 recent headers, and
everthing seems fine now.

How did you connect to a NNTP server that does not exist in DNS?

I called them up and asked real nice, and they put another server
online.

C:\ping eternalstemtemper.com

Ping request could not find host eternalstemtemper.com. Please check
the name and try again.

You have to call them first. The guys with pull take long weekends,
but I'll get you their phone number by Monday.
