NAME

6       ngetlite - retrieve files from NNTP hosts
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ngetlite <listfiles...>
10

DESCRIPTION

12       ngetlite  retrieves  messages as described in each listfile.  Listfiles
13       are generated with:
14       nget -w <listfile> <retrieval args>
15
16       In almost all circumstances, you  will  want  to  download  and  decode
17       directly  with  nget.  However, in some cases ngetlite can be useful on
18       computers with low ram or cpu, that can't handle the large cache  files
19       needed for some groups.  You can run nget -w on some other computer and
20       then  do  the  actual  downloading  with  ngetlite  using  very  little
21       resources.

27       nget -N -G alt.foo -r "\.png"
