Hi,

I have just tired it and had no problem.

Could it be your ISP specific or traffic management/throttled connection 
issue?
I am using get_iPlayer on Windows 7 32bit with RTMPDump v2.3

My options file is:
c:\Users\All Users\get_iplayer\options

lame .\lame\x86\lame.exe
mplayer .\mplayer\MPlayer-1.0rc2\mplayer.exe
atomicparsley .\atomicparsley\atomicparsley.exe
output E:\get_iplayer
flvstreamer .\rtmpdump-2.3\rtmpdump.exe
ffmpeg .\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe
vlc .\vlc\vlc.exe
mmsnothread 1
nopurge 1
id3v2 .\id3v2.exe

See below:
