That's because of the crossposts. It doesn't actually create all
the directories, it downloads the article into the message.id
directory structure then makes a link for every group that the
message was posted to. So even though you are fetching a single
group, any article in that group that was crossposted will cause
a plethora of directories to be created.

Cheers.
