A lot of RSS feeds always contain an attached MP3 file, like podcasts. It's very difficult, if not impossible, to download them all at once without manually initiated every download. I don't know of any browser that is good at handling RSS that it can do so for multiple different feeds.
I encountered this issue while trying to fetch all podcasts from Reasons to Believe and therefore invented RTBDownload. It's a tiny little application that takes a folder path and an RSS XML file, parsing it for titles and file links. It then downloads all the MP3 files and places them in the folder you specify.
RTBDownload for Windows 7 and above
When it launches, navigate to the folder you want to put them all in, paste the URL of the XML file (with Edit -> Paste), and press Enter. It will inform you when it begins downloading each file. It is possible to run multiple instances of it downloading different feeds.
