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.
