Use your news reader application to subscribe to the newsgroups you are interested in from your leafnode news server (i.e. localhost). Now when you open these newsgroups you will find you have one new message in each. Once you read this message, leafnode will know to start downloading this newsgroup next time you run fetchnews.

Point your newsreader to localhost [you may have to edit inetd.conf to start leafnode] Just select the groups you want to read. The next time leafnode connects to the net it will download those groups for you.
