The next step is to make it possible for a user to download the archive of his or her linkblog to a local computer as a structured folder of RSS 2.0 files.

Tested. Works beautifully. I have multiple feeds, everything came down
as expected.

One thought, if using radio2 for podcasting, a nice option would be to
also download associated enclosures.
Definitely optional though, since it could fill up a drive fast in my
case if unprepared for the amount of data :-)

That's a great idea. I'm adding the code to download enclosures.

Think about it this way -- what's the point of dowloading the whole linkblog if you don't also download the enclosures?

You lose a lot of podcasts that way.
