I've lost track of what you are using, but if you have, (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.gmane.org")) in your .gnus.el (or .emacs) you shouldn't be subscribing to news through Gmane with `B', but simply `U'. Maybe you should have a look at ~/.newsrc (early on, I used to just throw mine out) and then, armed with a tutorial, start over.
