Thought you might like to see a ruby adaptation of bashpodder.  No
attempt has been made at brevity so it's much larger than bashpodder.

Rubypodder.rb differs from bashpodder by prepending a sequence number
to each sound file. The number helps keep track of listened shows when
a large number of feeds are being download.

Rubypodder uses a single output directory instead of one per day. The
daily directory idea was good ... but my mp3 player (a treo 650)
doesn't seem to support directories so I nixed the code in rubypodder.

Feel free to post, copy, delete, modify or otherwise berate rubypodder.

See ya
