Sorry, mistyped the variable name.  What you want is gnus-summary-line-format.

Enter

c-h v gnus-summary-line-format

You'll get a buffer listing all of the format specifiers that can be
placed in the spec.  At the bottom of the buffer, you'll have a
customized button which will let you edit gnus-summary-line-format.

The %O specifier is a fixed width (1 char) field.  It's value will be
'+' when the article has been downloaded, '-' when the article is
undownloaded, and ' ' when the server is not agentized.

If you don't like the +/- characters, you can customize
gnus-downloaded-mark/gnus-undownloaded-mark to use different
characters.
