That might be a tough one, as pan now polls all servers to see what's available before prioritizing downloads. It's possible to prioritize downloads, but the server polling AFAIK happens to all configured servers, and if I'm correct on leafnode (I'm not a leafnode user now but I've read of it and was a remote user of a leafnode server at one point), that'll cause it to start downloading on the polled groups. The only way I know to fix it would be to (possibly temporarily) configure leafnode not to carry those groups at all, so pan won't see them on it and won't poll them on it as a result. Update the group listing so pan sees the groups now carried and the ones not carried, and after that, you could reconfigure leafnode to carry them again if needed, as long as you didn't update the group listing in pan again. As soon as you do, it'll see the updated list and try to start trying to use it. That means either never having PAN pull the updated list, or permanently keeping the list on leafnode to the ones you want PAN to pull, one or the other. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
