Good script, I made some changes (added a progress bar and put all the talks into folders:
function DownloadFile($url, $targetFile)

{

   $uri = New-Object "System.Uri" "$url"
   $request = [System.Net.HttpWebRequest]::Create($uri)
   $request.set_Timeout(15000) #15 second timeout
   $response = $request.GetResponse()
   $totalLength = [System.Math]::Floor($response.get_ContentLength()/1024)
   $responseStream = $response.GetResponseStream()
   $targetStream = New-Object -TypeName System.IO.FileStream -ArgumentList $targetFile, Create
   $buffer = new-object byte[] 10KB
   $count = $responseStream.Read($buffer,0,$buffer.length)
   $downloadedBytes = $count

   while ($count -gt 0)

   {
       $targetStream.Write($buffer, 0, $count)
       $count = $responseStream.Read($buffer,0,$buffer.length)
       $downloadedBytes = $downloadedBytes + $count
       Write-Progress -activity "Downloading file '$($url.split('/') | Select -Last 1)'" -status "Downloaded ($([System.Math]::Floor($downloadedBytes/1024))K of $($totalLength)K): " -PercentComplete ((([System.Math]::Floor($downloadedBytes/1024)) / $totalLength)  * 100)
   }

   Write-Progress -activity "Finished downloading file '$($url.split('/') | Select -Last 1)'"
   $targetStream.Flush()
   $targetStream.Close()
   $targetStream.Dispose()
   $responseStream.Dispose()

}

Ah - and I added a filter so it only downloads SharePoint content - of course one can also use the original url.

Cool script. I'll leave it up for other people to enjoy.

Unfortunately, this is not ALL of the sessions.  The RSS feed is missing large numbers of the sessions.

Do we know if the RSS feed will be updated anymore, or do we have to find another way to get the missing ones?

(eg:  it only downloaded 1 of the ATC group of sessions)

Went to New Orleans and did your PreCourse and bought your book - Excellent.  Been setting up my test farm and made a few notes.  Page 63 Step2 - the shell has to be run as administrator.
Got the farm running and now want to add a WFE.  Just follow "Adding More Servers to the Farm"? on page 65.  What I wanted was a SQL, APP, and WFE in the end.  Will the APP server that I loaded SP on first always server content?
