First, disconnect, double-click your server entry in Setup > Servers, check the 'Select Group' option, then click Apply and reconnect to try again.

If the articles still can't be found, then they (or the group) aren't  on your server for one of numerous reasons.  Search the forum here for 'article not found' or Google it, or check Problem Solving in the Wiki.

It couldn't find the article on your server immediately so it's retrying based on the number & interval of retries set in Setup > Connection. Most likely your server doesn't have the article.  Solution: try another server.

P.S. now you can edit your posts to remove details of what you're downloading, unless there's a particular reason why you want to share that info with the world. ;)
