@kevinjonesevans I'm sorry, this script is really quick & dirty, so I didn't consider password with special chars... But I guess you should simply URL-encode the password before using it in the WGET request, isn't it?

To anyone who wants downloads past episode 114, I would advise against this script. In order to get the latest episodes, I tweaked the max for the id range from 600 to 56000, but the files on rubytapas.dpdcart.com aren't in sequential order, so the brute force id scan wastes a lot of time trying to locate files on the server.
