Maybe you can try turning off the Gnus Agent.  It sounds like that's the
problem.

For a foreign server: from the group buffer, press `^' to enter the
server buffer.  Use the Agent menu in the toolbar to turn off the agent
for the particular server.

For a native (defined in your .gnus.el file) server: edit the definition
to turn off the agent.
