I agree that the text interface is not friendly - I implemented a text interface because it was fast to do, provides a service quickly, and provides me with quick feedback.
Grateful that you implemented it.

I don't know the *nix commandline downloaders (SBS, iView) but the Windows batch downloader for iView has some nice features to guard against wrong entries (I keep forgetting to key in 0 = Go Back for your py script, and put in a Series number like 68 when the allowable values might be only 0,1,2).
Would you mind taking a look (not at the batch code, more its behaviour)? See the iView thread here, and the batch downloader by Anywho et al.
