Odd newsgroup download problem

...
WinXP SP2 and OE Ver 6.0.2900.2180 with latest updates.
I use a free News Server "Motzarella" as well as my ISPs News Server, to
back up a couple of news groups.
(The ISP News Server fails now and then).
I have a problem downloading one of the news groups through Motzarella,
each time I try, OE stops with "not responding".
(there are approx 3000 messages to download)
I have tried :
Synchronising - headers only (with and without get 300 messages set)
Not synchronising and "download with preview pane"
Subscribing and unsubscribing the offending NG and closing/opening OE (and
rebooting)
Latest attempts managed to download some headers, but then the "not
responding" feature kicked in again.
What's next, a chicken sacrifice at midnight ? :-)
Other news groups behave OK with OE
