ngetlite(1)		     General Commands Manual		     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>

     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.
