What are you using as your NNTP server? If it's INN, I'm pretty sure that
has its own rate-limiting mechanism as a configuration parameter, and you'd
be better off doing rate limiting in the application itself if it's at all
possible.
Even if you're using something other than INN, have a look at the
configuration options for the server and see if you can solve this problem
there before resorting to netfilter and tc.
