It doesn't.

It only does one article at a time, and at least with the version I have,
falls over when ever it hits a long line.

Also, slurp has another bug, where it'll treat 
.\n

as the end of an article, when it should really be
.\r\n

Hard to call on this one, as one way, it'll work with slightly broken
servers, the other way it'll break on some articles.
