I tried to reproduce it here, but I see a different behaviour. slrn
indeed complains about this charset and stops to do the progress
counting, but it continues to fetch the articles. 

So for me this happens at article 3651 of 123972. This seems that
slrn stopped, but as this is really a huge amount of articles to
fetch. For me it needs 3-4 minutes to finish. Perhaps you've just
not been patient enough.

You could start slrn with

| slrn --debug /tmp/slrn.debug

and check the debug file if slrn really stops. Your slrn version
would of course also be helpful.

Cheers,

 Thomas
