How to skip slow foreign servers on startup ?

How to skip slow foreign servers on startup ?

[Steven Woody]

i've added some news servers using the 'B' command, they are very slow so i
don't want to wait them up on every start of gnus. since i won't use them quit
often, so i think i do press a 'g' on them when i really need. so, can anyone
tell me a way of avoid connecting to these servers on startup?

Hi Steven,

i suggest you type 'u' (for unsubscribe) when the point is on the
group in the summary buffer.

hope this helps

You're right : just type 'L' in the summary buffer ro get a complete
list (subscribed and unsubscribed groups)

For nnrss and nnshimbun groups i lowered the level (S l) to
prevent fetching the "headers" for this groups when i hit 'g'.

Hope this helps.
