The default agent predicate is not 'true'. Have you changed it? If you really want all articles to be downloaded, do 'J c' from the *Group* buffer and press 'e' on default and change the predicate. Just an idea. FWIW, I think the default agent predicate should be 'true'. Most people have bandwidth enough to download everything.
