Well, after more research on that topic, I found this: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.discuss/11608 In short: the author of the thread was complaining more or less about the same thing, and his problem was that he was using `gnus-fetch-old-headers', setting it to `t'. I do the same thing here in .gnus, and then I started to do some experiments. Now, Gnus opens the newsgroup much faster, of course. It doesn't have to download everything from news.gmane.org, only some messages (I set `gnus-fetch-old-headers' to 500 specifically on gmane groups). So, my question now is: what do you guys use? Do you also use `gnus-fetch-old-headers'? Thanks a lot, -- Sergio
