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>

       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.
