I reported a bug during the week after christmas -- the news server was
down at the beginning of that week. Since then, it seems like the
newsserver they're using isn't tuned to the load it receives -- I often
find I lose my connection to it, or that when I initially try to
connect, I can't. Just keep hitting the download button every so often,
and you should get a full list at some point.
