If you included the part which confuses you, one could focus.

I don't want to dig out the code now but consider the following:
"ipNews.ArtGrpNo    alt.os.linux.slackware  16497" runs 
[this is my actual coe-syntax, directly pasted here];
I'll assume that my client doesn't start the next <fetch article>
until <alt.os.linux.slackware  16497> has finished d/l-ing,
because I naturally concentrated on 'what I get'.
But what about the server, if I then run 
"ipNews.ArtGrpNo    comp.os.linux.networking   5942"?
Does this open a further "connection" [using the wording of the server]?

If the NNTP-server could handle the possibility of the same IP 
requesting a further article while the first article was still being 
delivered, which my client does NOT do; then perhaps the protocol
was designed for the client to acknowledge the receipt, so that
the server, does NOT open a new connection for the next/new
request.

What else does the server signal 
"Too many connections from your IP address " ?
