Your Debian bug report didn't offer any clue how to reproduce your 
problem, and you haven't provided any further information here, so let's 
cut to the chase:

1. Run get_iplayer with --verbose
2. Show us the full command line
3. Show us the full verbose output

There is no guarantee that will reveal the source of the problem, but at 
least it's a start.  On the face of it, your problem suggests that you 
have a proxy arrangement that isn't working, but there is no way for us 
to even guess unless you provide the above information.
