I've had this problem several times this morning (Thursday, 3/10) and
in several different newsgroups (rec.audio, rec.audio.high-end,
usa-today.sports, and others).  For example, on usa-today.sports, item
507, it's listed as having 145 lines but when I try to access it I get
the error message:
 
     %SMG-F-INVCOL, invalid column
