Unless it is some binary newsgroup, this seem unlikely. Please verify
the numbers using the following command in a shell and show us the
output.
telnet news.motzarella.org nntp <== You type this!
Trying 85.214.105.209...
Connected to news.motzarella.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
200 news.[...] INN 2.4.5 ready (posting ok).
MODE READER <== You type this!
GROUP name.of.the.group <== You type this!
The maximum number Gnus can handle depends on your Emacs version and
architecture.
What is the output of <f1> v most-positive-fixnum RET?
You may need to load cl before: M-x load-library RET cl RET
