Hi, I did something similar a while ago to download Democracy Now (which also has some of the same download issues - goes through a redirect - as explained below). I did pretty much the same thing, but using wget.
Also I didn't get fancy with anything like a 0.8 second cart or anything like that - I've just got a Macro in Rivendell which runs through RDCatch, which in turn calls a script that downloads via wget and then does the rdimport. Since redirects are coming more common, I wonder if the ability to follow such redirects can be added into RDCatch (this is presuming it isn't already there - as with others I was unable to make this type of thing work straight through RDCatch with Democracy Now). > We have a similar situation with Pacifica's Free Speech Radio News (FSRN). > Their downloadable file is available at 4pm-ish CST, and we play it at 5pm > CST.
