I can M-g on a group to only fetch headers for that group when
plugged. But how to limit the agent to only downloading articles for
that group when I do Js? As it is its going for all (agent) groups and
doesn't appear to be limited by any level prefix/config. Again,
potentially expensive when roaming. Something I am missing or misusing?

Nothing wrong with it at all. Thanks - totally missed it. missed that
J-u in the manual and it doesnt appear in C-h m for the group buffer.
I cant explain how I didnt see it here
,----
| 6.9.3.1 Group Agent Commands
| ............................

| `J u'
| Fetch all eligible articles in the current group
| (`gnus-agent-fetch-groups').

I'll try that some more. I cant think why I didnt spot that in the
manual. I spent about 2 hours re-reading the level and group stuff last
night too. I was so wrapped up in groups/levels/subscribed/activate
levels/plugged/agent etc I probably couldnt see the wood for the trees;)
My task for after dinner tonight is to try and figure out why I am still
confused about foreign groups and servers as there seems to be a big
discrepancy between how it works and how its documented. e.g drafts
being a foreign group.

What's wrong with J-u (which respects the prefix mark as well, so you can
mark groups with '#' first).?

I tend to use C-h b to find bindings. I think the J- bindings are not
part of the group-mode, but of the group-agent mode, so they don't
appear in the C-h m display.
