Probably no way to manage subscriptions manually, those are binary
files, I'm afraid. What about running evolution with --offline, removing
account, closing evolution, deleting
~/.evolution/mail/nntp/<account-url>
and starting evolution with --online and reentering the account again?
Not so cool but should work.

What's your evolution version? Do you have debug info packages installed
and can you provide some backtrace of that "it is doing 'something'"
state? As far as I tried to play with NNTP last time (approximately a
month ago), it downloads all the group names, but doesn't subscribe to
anything, it keeps all up to you.
Hope that helps,
Milan
