That's "a feature", I think. A lot of messages get crosspostet to groups
you don't have subscribed and you are not interested in. I even have
/var/spool/news/microsoft/... :(

leafnode is confused about which messages it has received and
where to put them. I had the same problem when I disrupted a "fetch".
Sureley it is not the best solution, but:
You could reinstall leafnode (sounds like MS Windows, but...), run fetch
again, "fetch -v -v" to be more verbose, and don't interrupt it!
Try seting the max number of messages to fetch to something lower than
the default 1000. For testing 50 should be enough. (In /etc/leafnode.conf )
