Create resumable podcast downloads
Authored by: trendyhendy on May 25, '06 04:38:03PM

My podcast workflow (I too have a slow Internet connection) is to copy the URLs from NetNewsWire, paste them into a file on my desktop named dl.txt, then invoke the following command from Terminal:

wget -c -i dl.txt

The -c flag starts any unstarted downloads, resumes any unfinished downloads, or skips and completed downloads. The -i flag tells wget to read the URLs from the file specified.

wget will automatically follow any redirects and give the output files the proper names.
