uqwk question

Hi, recently, I installed uqwk 1.8 on my Linux machine which is connected
via a 56 K line to the net. When retrieving news, however, I notice that
UQWK takes forever before it starts retrieving the news. Example:

I start UQWK

wait at least five minutes
"uqwk alt.news.group"

Wait a few more minutes which is acceptable as I retrieve my news via an
NNTP server.

>From then on, the groups go normally. Nevertheless, why do I experience
such a long delay before the first group is retrieved?

Just some more info: This problem never occurs if I rename my .newsrc file,
forcing UQWK to only get mail. Also, I must wait at least four minutes per
article when posting with UQWK, again this problem does not occur with mail.

I realize that this isn't the UQWK support list, but as most yarn users use
UQWK, I thought this might be a good place to start.

Any info would be greatly appreciated as this is getting very frustrating.
