slrnpull and LUGNET?

Okay, another slrn question, this one about slrnpull.  I'm trying to spool
LUGNET messages so I can read them offline.  However, I'm currently having
problem getting slrnpull to actually download messages.  (2)

I can see (1) that it connects to lugnet.com, and that it engages in a
dialogue with the server.  But when it starts to download messages, it just
hangs.  I've let it go for more than ten minutes before killing the process.

Here's my slrnpull.conf:

default 50 5000
lugnet.admin.general * *
#etc.

Does anyone know if this is a typical issue?  Does anyone have a slrnpull.conf
file they'd like to share?

Thanks!  :-,

Cheers,

2.  I'm planning 50 messages per group I read per hour during the early
morning hours...  Is this too much, or can I really go overboard?  :-,

Uh, two.  Including this one.

(...) I haven't used slrnpull, but I have experienced the same behaviour with Gnus Unplugged. It would normally function just great, but some times it simply hung when downloading the articles in certain groups. I found some incomplete NOV lines in (...)
