Jack Cola asks:
I’m looking for a Windows Download Manager which can download files from an RSS feed.
My requirements are that I can put in an RSS feed, and it will download all files on that feed. It also must have a scheduler so I can download this files at night using my off-peak quote. I manually did this during the day, and I will soon run out of my quota, so I want to do it at night, but need a scheduler so I can sleep.
The MakeUseOf Best of Windows Software failed me this time around

November 22, 2011i think utorrent has this option. but it will need the rss feed of videos on torrents only.
if it is possible to find your videos on a site that has a rssfeed of torrents including the videos you want.
else scheduling a manually generated que of downloads is the only option.

November 22, 2011I tried uTorrent, but it doesn’t work.
I forget to mention, I am downloading files like .mp3, .mp4, not Torrents or anything illegal.
ok, not aware of such software, but trying to get closer,
if the rss feed has the download links, then at least the current feeds can be downloaded.
paste the rss link on address bar, and now you will have the list of feeds with links.
with software and add ons like
idm, dap and flashgot,video download helper add-ons
you can capture all the media on a page.
also grabber option of idm might help, I have never used grabber, but it is used for capturing entire site.
(i read about youtube rss feed podcast in itunes, but i guess it will not help, as you are not downloading from youtube.)
November 22, 2011There’s gotta be something where I can give a link to something, and it downloads the files on that page.
November 23, 2011as i said in the previous comment,
idm has grabber option and idm has scheduler also.
i still failed to use it one more time. dont know why, but the options it provides are useful to you.
and people use it successfully unlike me.
select grabber
enter a url
and then choose the options how much of the site you want to download.
audio, video,images or entire sites,
you can choose level of links, and enable javascript as some links are in javascript.
so many it seems possible, i will tell you if i find something exactly similar.
you can see how grabber of idm works to download entire website:http://www.madrasgeek.com/2010/12/download-website-for-offline-browsing.html
the difference betwwen these 4 tools and grabber is:
you don’t have to open pages and then select download all.
grabber downloads files just by the link.
If there are 15 mp3 links on one page. the four tools I mentioned above can download them all, but you have to first go to that page and then select download all option.donwload managers :dap, idm ,firefox addons :video download helper, flashgotbut you have to go to those pages, unless you use grabber..
November 23, 2011hi Jack, did you try idm (grabber)?
