If I keep retrying, Gnus may eventually load the group. c Out of curiosity: Is there some kind of caching of the .NOV info going on? Ie. that it doesn't have to try to get all article summaries, but only the ones it didn't get before it closed the connection? And is there some kind of "retry setting"? Ie. if the server closes the connection unilaterally, can Gnus do the same thing I do, which is to reopen the connection (at least a certain number of times)? Of course a reopening strategy will work best if it only tries to get the article summaries it lacks.
