What do you think the programme indexed "856" is supposed to be?

Because 856 doesn't work here, either, but 811 ("World Business Report - 21/09/2010"), for instance, does.

These numbers are prone to change, incidentally. This it's preferable to use the PID when posting to the list, as this is static.

I.E. the PID for the "World Business Report" I mentioned before is "b00tvsqq" and you would fetch it using `get_iplayer --pid=b00tvsqq modes=flashhd,flashaachigh`.

My best guess is that the programme you had queued up to download has expired since you selected it, but without knowing what programme it is or was, it's hard to say.
