I'm also having problems getting the Glasto streams. The programmes on
the iplayer site come down fine using --pid but *some* of the ones
from the microsite
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/glastonbury/2010/lineup/stage/) give the
following error:

Others do work, for example the following:

Can anyone explain this and tell me how to get those steams? I'm
desparate to grab them before the Beeb take them down.

Many thanks,

John
