Subject: gnus-agent and header download

Hello,

I run gnus on my dialup box, and connect to an nntpcache server across my
dialup link that gets me gmane.* and a partial usenet feed.  I have gnus
configured with

- the nntp server agentized
- gnus-read-active-file set to 'some
- gnus-nov-is-evil set to nil
- gnus-agent-cache is t
- gnus-agent-fetch-selected-article in my gnus-select-article-hook hook.

I also have article prefetch turned on.

My problem is that when I enter some newsgroups (especially the gmane ones),
gnus spends a long time downloading headers.  This occurs even if there are
only three or four new messages in the newsgroup.  How can I make gnus only
download the headers it needs?

I thought gnus-agent was supposed to help here, but it doesn't appear to.
Maybe my combination of settings is working against me here.


Faried.
