Hello. I’m want write a script, which download all the podcast from  
rss-feed.  
This is code, not work:  
def wget  
@mp3\_links.each do |m|  
system(“wget”, “#{m}”)  
end  
end  
I understand that to be linked to the delay, but how?

Try bashpodder:

A nit: Why would you do “#{m}”? If m is already a string, just use it by  
itself:

system ‘wget’, m

If it’s not, you could do to\_s, but system probably already knows to do  
that.

What delay? I’m not sure what you mean here…

thx for the reply, i finished write the script.  
You’re right, it was necessary to write only system("wget ",m)
