​I've waited for say 30 minutes.  I can't believe that it's that much stuff
to download.  I've also tried with

(setq gnus-newsgroup-maximum-articles 1)

and the result is the same.  To debug, would I need to build the debug
version of Emacs?  Or you mean debug some Lisp function?  If yes, then
which one?  `gnus'?  If you mean GDB, then again, what exactly should I
look for?
