Hi
I am running v5.9.0, in the Group buffer then I place the pointer over
an item and hit <RET>, the mini buffer gives me the option weather to
accept the (default 2395) which I then either hit <RET> or type in a
number say 300 <RET>, but in either selection it takes the same amount
of download (nntp read: 680K).
is it not suppose to take less time for 300 than the default of 2395?
here is my gnus.el
****************************************************************
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.iprimus.com.au"))
(setq gnus-check-new-newsgroups nil) ;save time at startup
(setq gnus-fetch-old-headers 'some) ;prevents teared threads
(setq gnus-posting-styles
'((".*"
(name "Gary Wessle")
(address "phddas@yahoo.com"))))
(setq gnus-extract-address-components
'mail-extract-address-components)
****************************************************************
thanks

Your problem is this line. Let's see:
,----C-h v gnus-fetch-old-headers
| gnus-fetch-old-headers's value is nil
|
| Documentation:
| *Non-nil means that Gnus will try to build threads by grabbing old headers.
| If an unread article in the group refers to an older, already
| read (or just marked as read) article, the old article will not
| normally be displayed in the Summary buffer. If this variable is
| t, Gnus will attempt to grab the headers to the old articles, and
| thereby build complete threads. If it has the value `some', all
| old headers will be fetched but only enough headers to connect
| otherwise loose threads will be displayed. This variable can
| also be a number. In that case, no more than that number of old
| headers will be fetched. If it has the value `invisible', all
| old headers will be fetched, but none will be displayed.
|
| The server has to support NOV for any of this to work.
|
| This feature can seriously impact performance it ignores all
| locally cached header entries.
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Look at here.
| You can customize this variable.
|
| Defined in `gnus-sum'.
