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.
