Annoying download problem

Hi,

I'm having an annoying problem with a large download.

I'm trying to grab Jools Holland's Hottenany in HD. So, I do this:

$ get_iplayer --modes flashhd --get hooten

Now, this seems to download just fine for quite a while, then it will
suddenly hang. If I then refresh the catalogue I see that the program ID
has changed, ie. it is not 346 any more.

So, I restart the download using the same command as above. The first
time this happens it will usually resume OK and continues the download.

Then it hangs again and will not restart when I try. I just get loads of
these msgs:

WARNING: Stream does not start with requested frame, ignoring data...
WARNING: Stream does not start with requested frame, ignoring data...
[snip]
WARNING: Stream does not start with requested FLV frame, ignoring data...
WARNING: Stream does not start with requested FLV frame, ignoring data...
[snip]

Any idea what's going wrong here?

R.
