That's consistent with my own symptoms, detailed in this thread - http://fudforum.org/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=118143&start=0& - so I'm pretty sure we've identified the problem anyway.
Basically, as it was the last time I checked, the NNTP script doesn't understand MIME (and yEnc) encoded attachments. It stalls when it hits some; it can also break and go into a loop, endlessly duplicating the last import of messages, when it hits some particular attachments; and if it imports them at all, it does so as a block of text inline with the message.
What version of FUDForum are you running? Some of the looping/duplicating issues were looked at.
It would indeed be better if FUDforum could understand MIME-encoded attachments, but a full fix would involve creating code to permit FUDforum to import them. Frank is aware of the issue, but he has a lot of stuff on his priority list so this may have to wait until a user writes code to support it.
