The main server developed a fault so the beta server was switched in.
As the article counts are different (lower), your newsreader thinks it's
already got all the posts from your current groups. You need to reset
the article counters. You delete tcp_tmp/n.progress in THOR, I'm not
sure how you can easily do this in MicroDot, try switching to
beta.news.u-net.com and back.
