I would like to wget a list of items that I'm retrieving from an XML file. I'm using sed to clean up the XML, and I'm ending up with output like this:

CountofMonteCristo.zip
English.
http://www.archive.org/download/count_monte_cristo_0711_librivox/count_monte_cristo_0711_librivox_64kb_mp3.zip
Alexandre.
Dumas.
LettersofTwoBrides.zip
English.
http://www.archive.org/download/letters_brides_0709_librivox/letters_brides_0709_librivox_64kb_mp3.zip
Honoréde.
Balzac.
BleakHouse.zip
English.
http://www.archive.org/download/bleak_house_cl_librivox/bleak_house_cl_librivox_64kb_mp3.zip
Charles.
Dickens.

I'd like to use wget -i to download these files as Language.Lastname.Firstname.Title.zip

I'm open to re-arranging the file somehow so that I can use $filename $url

I've tried a few different sed commands. Sed is what I've used to clean up the XML tags, but I can't figure out how to move text to the appropriate place. The titles, names, and languages will vary for each file.

EDIT: Before cleaning up the tags with sed, each line is wrapped in tags, such as English and FileTitle. I think this could be helpful in identifying patterns to re-arrange things.

EDIT2: Here's the XML source

My ultimate goal is to organize all of the files into folders, with a hierarchy of Language -> AuthorLastnameFirstname -> Files.zip

If what I'm doing is not best practice, I'm open to other methods.

Thanks

EDIT3: Something like this looks like it would work, but I'm having trouble modifying it to suit my needs.
