Thanks for the feedback!
I made a change in the above post to the script so that it follows redirects correctly which feedproxy.google.com feeds were having problems with.

[Edit: added URL redirection] Here's the script: #!/bin/bash # [downloadfirst.sh] A UMS/Jumpy Player for web.conf that downloads the URL first - 2015 AudioMan # Works on URLS that can be downloaded with curl, and use HTTP.

I'm wondering if there's a timeout in UMS to let it wait longer for the file to download, or if I can get Jumpy to do the downloading for me? [Edit: thin...
