Maybe something like this (python code):
# /usr/bin/python
import time
import urllib2
if __name__ == "__main__":
while (1):
# Initial Time reading
start = time.clock()
mp3file = urllib2.urlopen("http://www.slug.org.au/event/900001";)
output = open('test.mp3','wb')
output.write(mp3file.read())
output.close()
print time.clock() - start
time.sleep(3600) # Time in seconds.
