I've been playing with some Perl scripts to automate the downloading of Podcasts. I find software such as iPodder or iTunes really limiting in how they can handle files and wanted to find a flexible simple solution.
Eventually I found this script w98Podfetch which allows you to completley customise how podcasts get downloaded, where they get stored on my computer and also the filename used. The only problem is that I can't yet get this to work fully on a Windows system - "works out of the box" on linux.
If anyone else has any sucess in downloading mp3 files which aren't mangled up (sounds like the Darleks are invading on the ones I got) then let me know.

Nice to see the work you're doing on podcasts, Flea. There were some really interesting presentations at ALT-C this year dealing with podcasting - I have the papers and so does Mark P if you are interested in reading them...
Oh, and thanks for posting the URL to Sketchpad - check out who are keynote speaker is for the conference!
