Hi Everyone
Just want to say thank you to all who have responded to my, and others list
members, questions regarding get_iplayer. I successfully downloaded desert
island discs in an mp3 format this evening.
Kind regards
Henry

Hi.
To make a program download once again, just add
--force
to the command line. For example
get_iplayer --get --force archers
I hope that's of use.
