As stated in this thread I too have had the g to update news causing it
to hang.

However I think I may have just cured my own issues and perhaps it will
work for some of you guys too. I noticed that in my server buffer all
NNTP servers had agent applied but NOT news.gwene.org I added the agent 
now g seems to refresh any new news immediately. Good luck all.
