A comment on using Pan for downloading NNTP as files:
Using a GUI application for this is a bit round-about. Why not download
the messages directly to files using a script language?
Both Python and Perl have NNTP modules. You could use them to go to the
NNTP server and mirror any group to a local directory. This is like
using curl or wget to fetch web pages, instead of clicking in Chrome and
then clicking "Save As" on each page.
