The batch file version creates a download log version. You can queue up multiple downloads and then execute. At the end, you can skim the download.log file for "Saved successfully" for each file. If you are having problems you may be able pinpoint what it is, eg file not found, error in connection-retrying, etc. from the info in the log file.

You can even queue up the downloads and schedule the downloads for later (offpeak times) using iViewLater, in case your ISP is having dropouts during peak times.

I had one file that I had queued last night, fail, " Error in connection. Retrying...".
That is unusual... I checked the file. and yep, it was incomplete. So threw it away. Will download it again later.
