Something related I'd find even more useful (though it really wants the
above):

  * Either the ability to suspend downloading mid-stream and continue it
    again later.  (Either because I want to read some other news or
    because I'm about to unplug the network.)

  * Or the ability to add things for downloading to a sort of queue, which
    is handled automatically by the demon stuff.  This way, not only could
    processing of big multiparts be done automatically behind my back, but
    the system could even potentially watch for the appearance of missing
    articles, and finish if they appear (or give a warning if they don't)
    over a week or so.

Pie in the sky.  :)
