Is there a more user-friendly way to download multiple articles from arXiv? I am subscribed to the arXiv daily digests for my subject area. I find myself, every day, doing the following, when I get to work:

1) Browsing through the arXiv email and right-clicking on the articles of interest to me (to open each of the pages in a different tab in my browser)

2) For each of these pages, downloading the pdf by clicking on the link, re-naming it &lt;article-title&gt; by &lt;author name(s)&gt;.pdf, and saving the pdf in a directory on my PC

[3) the directory is then automatically synched to my tablet during the day]

4) Looking at the articles on my commute home on my tablet.

I am bored of doing (2). It only takes 10-20 seconds per article (depending on things like how many carriage returns or inappropriate characters I have to remove from the cut-and-pasted article title and author names -- e.g. math characters (I am a mathematician and symbols in titles do not cut and paste well)) but when I'm interested in 5 articles and one has a lengthy title with carriage returns and symbols in, my mind wanders and I start thinking about whether this has already been automated by someone, because it seems to me that there would be no obstruction to doing so in theory, but I would not be capable of doing it myself.
Does such an automation exist?
You can use JabRef for this. More precisely, there are plugins by Christoph Lehner that do the job:


arxiv-rss to browse the list of new preprints and import the ones you want;
localcopy for downloading the PDF and automatically renaming it (according to a pattern you can define).


This isn't 100% automated (you still need to manually click "download arXiv PDF" once you've imported the entry in your bib file), but this is still much better than doing it all by hand.
