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.
