Restricting nget based on age
 
I'm don't seem to understand what I'm doing wrong here. I'm attempting to use nget to access some newgroups. However when I ask it to download the latest headers I want it to restrict the headers it downloads to headers that are less than 3 days old.

Here's what I'm typing in:

Code:

nget -g perl.cpan.testers -R "age 3d <"
However it doesn't seem to be filtering based on age and is instead downloading all headers.

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks.

Does "age < 3d" work?

Hi Dave, thanks for the reply.

Trying the more conventional "age < 3d" doesn't seem to make a difference. It looks like the full headers are being downloaded.
