ngetlite(1)ngetlite(1)NAMEngetlite - retrieve files from NNTP hosts
SYNOPSISngetlite <listfiles...>
DESCRIPTIONngetlite retrieves messages as described in each listfile. Listfiles
are generated with:
nget -w <listfile> <retrieval args>
In almost all circumstances, you will want to download and decode
directly with nget. However, in some cases ngetlite can be useful on
computers with low ram or cpu, that can't handle the large cache files
needed for some groups. You can run nget -w on some other computer and
then do the actual downloading with ngetlite using very little
resources.
EXAMPLES
The following sequence of commands demonstrates a typical usage:
nget -w foo.list -G alt.foo -r "\.png"
ngetlite foo.list
nget -N -G alt.foo -r "\.png"
ENVIRONMENT
NGETLITE_TIMEOUT
Socket timeout value in seconds.
NGETLITE_TRIES
Max number of attempts per article.
