NewsHopper does this when you have too many groups (over 32,000ish).
You can download an upgrade to 1.3b from

http://www.demon.co.uk/sw15

(you have to reinstall 1.2 to run the upgrade, I think) or you can
edit your group list and cut out a few hundred groups you don't
need (e.g. the 'de.' ones if you don't read German or the 'ba.'
ones if you're not interested in the Bay Area.  The group list is
a TEXT file and must be resaved as TEXT if you edit it.
