+Script to download Mixcloud sets
+
+Mixcloud offers no API or direct download at the moment.
+Additionally, even if you gather the direct download link, they limit the download after some seconds to a minimum.
+
+This script extracts the download link. Then it starts the download process but kills it after a given time just to reconnect it afterwards until the file is completely downloaded.
+
+Right now the link extractor works thanks to reverse engineering, but maybe Mixcloud will change the method soon...
