While reading thru a newsgroup, gnus will go after an article
(probably the "next" one) and apparently the lousy news server
doesn't have it, but gnus keeps trying until I use C-g.
(I have to keep my eye on the modem light when reading news.)

Here's part of my *nntp-log*:

Last three lines repeat forever (with changing times, of course).


Is there a "try only 3 times" setting, or something?

Thanks.
