I got couple days back errors on some groups. Sadly I deleted them but i remember that they were "Server Reports bogus MaxSpool > MaxGroup" errors. I searched some info about them and set short Download age, set "Use download age" for group and got latest headers. No error message anymore but it stays forever downloading headers. Downloading files window shows no progress, headers are 0/0 and I waited maximum some 15 minutes when I deleted it from download list. But even then connection wasn't dropped and I had to do "Kill all connections". I set "Show NNTP commands" and tried again. Excerpts from log window are below. I just can't figure out if this is Newsbin problem or Astrawebs. Most of groups are okay but 7 out of 92 subscribed groups show this kind of behavior. And I even unsubscribed and deleted group and subscribed again but nothing changed.
Newsbin version is 6.52 Build 3289
