Sure seems offline to me, it does have an online browse mode (see below).  It
as quick as NNTP access can be.  It even opens multiple sockets to help
improve throughput.

>trying to find a newsreader that doesn't download every single article.
Thor normally downloads every article within selected groups, however it has
an ONLINE browse mode that lets you look at subjects and multiselect to
download.

PS.  Hector o'sexual, real bad pun.
