#13 Retrieve by message id

[TH]

It would be nice if I could make nget retrieve a message
by message id, and decode it, without nget reading the
cache file.

I would second that. Some of the free accounts that I use
count header download against my 50MB/day limit, and in
some of the bigger groups I frequent the header download
can exceed 50MB, making file retrieval a two day job.

I should say that I do have a premium account, but the
retention isn't very good (UNS)- and before you tell me to
subscribe to easynews (I do!) :-) Problem with easynews is I
can scream through the 6GB limit very quckly as I download a
lot of SVCDs.

If I could pull a file or part thereof, BY ID, in the same fashion
that nget pulls parts currently by reading the cache it would
be a big boon, and save dollars at easy.

BTW, we're not asking for the same thing. I wanted to be able to give
nget a message id from commandline that it would download, without
ever reading the cache file. It was to make the downloading of info files
in ngetcgi quicker. I changed that so it would generate a much smaller
cachefile with only the info-files, so my version of the msg id download
is not really necessary anymore, though.

In addition to reading nzb files (message id's), it would be
nice to be able to create nzb files based on nget's cache of
a given group, either as individual files or by the entire
post, for multipart binaries.
