[ILUG] Reading material for travel

 Yes,

 It'll definitely be something like that - I want the stuff waiting in 
 my email.

 So maybe calibre if it does what I want or as some people suggested 
 wget.

 Pulled off the web:

 wget -q -O- "http://www.rss-specifications.com/rss-podcast.xml" | grep 
 -o '<enclosure url="[^"]*' | grep -o '[^"]*$' | xargs wget -c

 Haven’t tested the above but it would be a good starting point.
