It seems this was a great suggestion, as I know what happens now after 
looking at Wireshark's output.

I have different news servers configured. One of the servers, is not 
valid anymore now (netcat to port 119 of this address gives "Connection 
refused").

It seems like Pan correctly gets the new headers van GMane. At this 
moment, the status bar changes from "Tasks: 1/1 to 0/1". But then Pan 
still tries to contact the server which refuses connections, with 5 
seconds intervals. Instead, I think Pan should silently give up trying to 
connect to that server if it does not work the first time.

If interested, I can send the wireshark log (160KB), but I don't think it 
adds more information to this summary.
