I've experienced this several times with my Demon, TCPIP, and Newsbase
combination. It seems that something goes awry during the article fetching 
process, as I've quite often watched the article count totally overshoot
the number of message-IDs !TCPIP downloaded (by a large margin), before I
resort to killing the transfer manually. 

If it was a demon problem I would expect to hear a lot more about it
from other platforms (there has been talk of problems with demon's news
servers, though), but the fact that we're both seeing the same symptoms
while using different NNTP clients does point the finger that way.
