This might be a dumb response but have you tried right clicking the group
name in the left window pane of Rover and then choosing "reload entire list
of available messages?"
If you tried that and didn't get results, then the next probabilty is that
the 4 news servers that you use are all 2nd tier (they depend on the first
tier news servers to supply them since they don't have their own equipment.)
The first tier news servers do not sell their full service to these
rebranders. The news server companies that are other than the first tier,
usually have poor peering relationships and are often interdependent and
incestuous. Newsfeeds for example buys rented space from a first tier
company and then sells what they buy to other rebranders. So if newsfeeds
has a problem, then so do their rebranders like Athena news, usenet-access
news, corenews and etc. Your problem may very well be one caused by a hiccup
in one of the second tier servers who sell to the other news servers that
you use.
I don't think anyone is recommending easynews anymore because of security
concerns. News hosting is the present leader in
retention/completion/cost/speed/and service. For only $10/ for 30 days or 10
gb of download (with no upload restrictions) you get more bang for the buck.

usenet server info in general, go to www.newsgroupservers.net
Lots of good stuff there.
