1. Subscribe to the mp3 feed
2. Assign Textpad to be the html source viewer in Opera
3. Alt + F3 in the specific mp3 podcast to open the file in the podcast
4. In Textpad F3 to copy the path of the file (it contains the opera cashe directory, which is C:\Documents and Settings\%userName%\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile\cache4)
5. In Textpad Ctrl + F5 to search for mp3
Find what: mp3
In files: *.xml
In folder:C:\Documents and Settings\%userName%\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile\cache4
6. Copy the results from the Search window results into new file - Ctrl + A , Ctrl + N , Ctrl + V

7. Build the commands by pressing F8
Check regular expressions
Find what: ^(.*)(http.*mp3)(.*)$
Replace with: start /min "\2" cmd /c "wget -U= iexplore.exe \2"\nsleep 1\n
8. To start the command prompt : Start -Run - type cmd
9. To paste the code in the command prompt: Alt , Space , E , P (ok clean it first if you want)
10. Go to yuor download folder and watch how the podcasts are downloaded ; ) with my 24 MB/s it took some 5 minutes to download 100 of news
