Subject: Read while uploading

Help! This is a gnusbie question, but the answer was not obvious to me
in my info file.
When I select a group that I've previously visited in Gnus v5.9.0, Emacs
21.2.1 for WinNT queries how many messages to upload. It uploads what
seems to be the entire newsgroup regardless of my answer.
I want to be able to start reading shortly after selecting the group.
So I guess my questions are:
1. How do I keep the prior messages?
2. How do I read selected group(s) in the background so that they are
ready to read?
My .emacs stuff is below.
TIA for any comments
