A Security Now Podcast Downloader

The script accesses the GRC website and finds all the LQ Security Now MP3 Podcast episodes.

It then downloads only those that are not already in a local archive.

Why?

I had a lot of missing Security Now episodes in my MP3 archive.

This script was a much easier way to fill the holes than visiting the site and clicking loads of links.

Is it useful?

Yes. It helped me complete my archive without it becoming a tedious click-fest!

Running

This is a python script. I simply ran it via IDLE.

There is a 90sec pause between each podcast episode download. This is to prevent the script hammering the GRC site.

Get it ready and then leave it to run overnight...

Missing and ToDo

Nothing... unless something is spotted.
