It would be nice if the script asked the user where to save the files instead of saving them automatically to wherever the script is located. I can see someone skipping the README and wondering why their hard drive is full.

With so many files and such big files, it'd be great to give users some indicator of progress with downloads. It's cool that for each file there is an output result, but while a file is downloading you're in the dark. wget has a pretty sweet progress indicator.

Try downloading this zip, run the script. This xml, unlike previous ones tested, links to .wav audio files. The script downloads the .mov videos fine, but doesn't download the .wavs and reports they are not on the remote server.

verify the .wav files are there: http://logc.curiousercreative.com/media/offline

@8bitsofme, remember how we talked about the script being smart enough to find the media even when it's organized into multiple directories on our remote server (still within one root directory though) and then downloading that media into the same directory structure locally? Did we ever come up with a solution for how to make that work?

updated file paths don't work with spaces in names. URI encoding perhaps? Example: file:///Users/winstonhoy/Google Drive/Curiouser/Clients/Active/Your Input Needed/post-production/test/lewisfriend-1457852.wav

After you've run the script once and the media has been downloaded, try running it again. What should happen is it checks all of the files, sees they exist locally, compares check sums and moves on. It instead downloads all of the files each time it seems.

Open a new terminal window and PWD or ls to make sure you're not in the same directory as the script and project xml. Now drag and drop the script into the terminal window or type out the path to execute it without cd into the scripts directory first. The script should be able to find the xml, however it doesn't and returns error: IndexError: list index out of range. This code is line 57 of the py file.
