I've been having this problem for the past week or so. When I download
messages from this group OE always says there are between 3 and 74 more
messages to download, but I cannot download them. I have reset this
newsgroups several times, but the problem persists. Is anyone else having
the same problem?

Have you tried right click on group name and "Catch up"?

The default setting for OE is to get 300 headers at a time and when you
first join a group it will often indicate a number of messages left that it
seems like you can't get at. Changing this option seems to make a difference
but these groups tend to have thousands of messages so "Catch up" is the
only really practical answer.

I don't see anything different about this group in particular from here.

If the problem persists you might try unchecking that "xxx headers at a
time" option on the properties sheet / read tab, exit OE, search for *.dbx
including hidden files and then delete the "newsgroupname.dbx" file. Then
restart OE and subscribe again. Some servers do seem to behave slightly
differently, although I don't know why that should be :)
