ngetlite(1)

NAME
ngetlite - retrieve files from NNTP hosts

SYNOPSIS
ngetlite <listfiles...>

DESCRIPTION
ngetlite retrieves messages as described in each listfile. Listfiles are generated with:
nget -w <listfile> <retrieval args>

ngetlite is 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.
