I ran a TV download earlier, 90 minutes on flashvhigh and it came down 
fine. Radio is problematic. I have spent all evening between two laptops 
and have _just_ managed to get two half-hour and one fifteen-minute 
programs from R4 and R4Ex and I have tried Windows command line and the PVR.

What I have noticed is that where the stream fails but re-starts itself, 
it adds more MB to the file size. So, a continuously failing copy of a 
fifteen-minute episode of Vanity Fair, which should be around 20MB gets 
to 30MB+ and keeps getting bigger.
