The group is only readable by students and employees of the university. Providing -l to telnet doesn't work. > You may want to manually edit .newsrc to say "infko.general: 1-60000" > or something like that. At the least, if you tell Gnus to only fetch > 100 articles from the group (when it asks), it should run correctly. Normally it doesn't ask, because the group only has a handful new articles. I suspect ,---- | gnus-fetch-old-headers is a variable defined in `gnus-sum.el'. | Its value is some `---- to cause the heavy loading of already seen articles, but I may be wrong. Luckily this really happens only in some very rare cases and my internet connection is fast enough to fetch some megs then.
