Search for NNTP at search.cpan.org and you should find a module for downloading posts from a news server. Also try searching on Google for any batch NNTP clients. As for archiving, if you are refering to web-based archives like what MHonArc generates, than MHonArc works with news posts, and some users actually do use it to create web archives of newsgroups. Mharc, <http://www.mhonarc.org/mharc/>, is one option you can explore for creating and managing the web archive piece. --ewh
