No. J S sends posts, J s downloads them. 8^)
However, J s normally downloads all groups. This can be changed by
adding groups you want to download to specific categories, and change
the default category not to download anything. Then you'll still get
headers for all groups (I think....) but you won't download articles
from those groups unless you've entered the group and specifically
marked articles for downloading.

Not really, no. Gnus respects all categories when doing an agent
download.

That, or the category stuff I mentioned above. If you sometimes want
to download them all, sometimes not, maybe some lisp could frob the
categories....
