Downloading articles isn't so much about disk space as network
capacity. But I agree with you that the Agent should probably download
the articles by default.
Does anybody mind me switching `gnus-agent-predicate' to `true' by
default?

I'm talking about caching. I.e. keeping local copies after we've
downloaded them, so it shouldn't increase network traffic, only disk use.

Maybe that would be good, yes. A better docstring would also be
welcome: I don't understand the current one.

Hm. Caching?

Oh, I thought you were talking about the download categories (i.e., what
happens when you type `J s').
Let's see... caching... so if you're online (in an agentised group)
and select an article, you want the article to be saved in the Agent
directory? That sounds eminently reasonable, and I thought that was
supposed to happen, but I can't find any code for doing that... hm...
Nope.
Articles are entered into the (non-agent) cache if `gnus-use-cache' is
set to t, though.

This is now fixed in git Gnus.
