In node '3.7.3 Other Marks' the manual says:

 " * The Gnus agent (*note Agent Basics::) downloads some articles
     automatically, but it is also possible to explicitly mark articles
     for download, even if they would not be downloaded automatically.
     Such explicitly-marked articles get the `%' mark in the first
     column.  (The variable `gnus-downloadable-mark' controls which
     character to use.)"


  Best regards,
