    Hey Levizz,
    Yeah, it's working great... the only problem being that I 'm working through their show archive too quickly :(

    I use Streambox VCR to get them (copy the url of the RealAudio link from the website, and sic Streambox on it). I find I can get five or six shows at a time on my DSL. Then I let Mini-Stream ripper batch process the streams.

    The only problem is that Mini-Stream ripper doesn't have great MP3 compression options (viz. you can't choose mono) so the files end up being larger than they need to be.
