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.
