Okay, I've done this but it's too early to tell if the workaround works. But what about the cause of the problem? It seems that for some reason Gnus ignores the information it gets back from the server when a group is entered. E.g. GROUP comp.os.linux.misc 211 994 247830 248828 comp.os.linux.misc selected Gnus still starts its search based on old information in the .newsrc-localhost.eld file. Instead of only calling XOVER or HEAD of articles in the range 247830-248828 it calls XOVER/HEAD for all articles listed in the .eld file in this case starting with article 247211. 19980715T094212.917 news.dircon.co.uk GROUP comp.os.linux.misc 19980715T094214.074 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247211-247219 19980715T094214.623 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247224-247237 19980715T094214.993 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247242-247285 19980715T094215.353 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247290-247294 19980715T094215.682 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247301-247302 19980715T094216.143 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247312-247312 19980715T094216.463 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247319-247319 19980715T094216.852 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247328-247332 19980715T094217.212 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247348-247348 19980715T094217.612 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247357-247357 19980715T094217.983 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247362-247367 19980715T094218.295 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247374-247385 19980715T094218.632 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247390-247390 19980715T094218.982 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247396-247396 19980715T094219.313 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247408-247410 19980715T094219.643 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247417-247417 19980715T094219.983 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247424-247441 19980715T094220.183 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247452-247458 19980715T094220.482 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247466-247466 19980715T094220.863 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247476-247476 19980715T094221.203 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247486-247494 19980715T094221.503 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247499-247506 19980715T094221.803 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247515-247517 19980715T094222.103 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247525-247528 19980715T094222.403 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247533-247542 19980715T094222.703 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247547-247549 19980715T094223.012 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247559-247572 19980715T094223.233 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247587-247587 19980715T094223.593 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247599-247609 19980715T094223.932 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247618-247627 19980715T094224.323 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247635-247635 19980715T094224.652 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247649-247649 19980715T094225.012 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247661-247665 19980715T094225.183 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247692-247696 19980715T094225.512 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247704-247704 19980715T094225.822 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247711-247711 19980715T094226.213 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247720-247720 19980715T094226.601 news.dircon.co.uk XOVER 247726-248828 -- Eze Ogwuma
