One more setting comes to my mind. In Server Settings you can define how old Articles are allowed until they are "removed" and you used "Retrieve 10000" and not last x days. So the articles might have been to old and removed when you returned to a group. Try to subscribe to a busy group and check article dates (usually last column in header pane).
