Missing features leads to lots of people thinking up their own hacks.
For example, here's a bash script that downloads the files for one
language for you:

$LANG_CODE=nn
for i in desktop developer-libs proposed; 
do
	mkdir -p $i;  
	cd $i; 
	wget -r -l 1 -N -nd  -A"*.po,*.pot" http://l10n-status.gnome.org/gnome-2.14/$LANG_CODE/$i/; 
	cd ..; 
done

-N is a timestamp check, but it's only there to save a little
bandwith. wget will happily overwrite any files already in the
directory.

Set LANG_CODE to your language code, of course. I don't know if it'll
work on Mac (you need a bourne shell and wget).
