Sorry - I had missed that. I checked the code again, and still see no
reason why leafnode would do anything wrong here. I'll accelerate the
"way out" though for the next release, a single timeout here should skip
to the next server or quit immediately rather than hanging for 4 *
timeout_fetchnews.

Consider setting timeout_fetchnews to a lower value, say, 30 (seconds
that is) for the nonce.

Perhaps, if they are load balancing, one of their servers might be
faulty.
