Emacs is self-documenting. Get into the habit of asking Emacs, not
random web pages.

You need to tell the agent to download the articles, eg with
J s runs the command gnus-agent-fetch-session (found in
gnus-agent-group-mode-map), which is an autoloaded interactive
byte-compiled Lisp function in `gnus-agent.el'.
It is bound to J s.
See (info "(gnus) Agent Basics") for more.
