Yes, looking for new articles is non-blocking now (as it was in kde2.0).
Try the following (I am german so you may have to improve on the setting

Properties of knode --> reading news -->first suboption --> first checkbox
(something about checking for new articles without asking when entering a
news group).
Turn that off an try again.
