The subject of this thread is a complaint about being unable
to download *all* headers. I have shown you that you could download
*all* headers provided you are willing to do it in pieces.

BTW have you tried diagnosing your "not responding" symptom?
E.g. try using netstat -ps tcp 5 to see if anything is actually still
going on underneath. As long as something is still happening
you can ignore the symptom and expect that eventually a complete
response to your request will be given.

However, depending on how your server packages such a response,
I wouldn't be surprised if the server is at fault and not OE.
For that particular response the troubleshooting log will be inadequate
to help you understand the symptom. For it you would need to invoke
a TCP packet trace to capture the full NNTP protocol.
