NAME
nap, napping - Linux Napster Client
SYNTAX
nap <options> napping
DESCRIPTION
Nap is a linux console napster client written by Kevin Sullivan and improved by Peter Selinger and others. The advantage of nap over other graphical clients like gnome-napster is that you can run it under screen(1) on a remote host and disconnect from your session while nap continues the downloads. You can later reconnect to your running client even from another host and do more commands. Napping is a helper application required by nap to send and reveive ping packets. For napping to work it should be installed suid root. For more information, please see the HTML documentation at http://nap.sourceforge.net/userguide.html.

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
Configuration variables can be set in the file ~/.nap/napconf, on the command line via the -o option, or interactively via the /set command. Here is an almost complete list of configuration variables: user your napster username pass your napster password - optional email your napster email address upload list of upload directories, separated by semicolons download your download directory incomplete your directory for incomplete files connection your connection speed (see -C option) maxuploads maximal number of simultaneous uploads allowed maxupuser maximum number of simultaneous uploads per user maxdownloads maximum number of simultaneous downloads allowed maxdownuser maximum number of simultaneous downloads per user servers list of servers, separated by semicolons (note: this is now ignored and overwritten unless nometa is set) dataport port or range of ports to use for client-client connections.

SIGNALS
