When gnus is asked to retrieve lots of back messages from a group I
see `nntp read' followed by some numbers advances as each line
appears.
What is it that is being read ... server active file.... list of
messages... each line of messages ... what?

I should think it is retrieving the message headers. That's what my gnus
does when I select /o to retrieve old messages.
If I want to download the articles using the agent I mark them all for
download and then download them.

So do the numbers represent lines read? or characters maybe?
Maybe one set of nov info... for each line?
