There was considerable discussion for awhile about this, too..  but then 
it stopped.  The general consesus seemed to be for the ability to 
auto-sort tasks by article date (ie. download the oldest ones first) and 
then for some way to allow the user to manage priorities (allow "get new 
headers" to fall into reserve, etc)..  Or my preference to just let pan 
auto-pause/unpause downloads as higher-priority tasks appear (thus 
eliminating the need for a reserve slot altogether).  Personally, I'm 
still interested in keeping this topic open, as the download threading is 
one of pan's more important features.

Or maybe I'm not understanding your question.

Why not just set up a different download folder for that newsgroup?  
Personally, I file my stuff away into places like !/News/Music,
~/News/Movies, etc.
