Unfortunately that's not actually output from the get_iplayer script,  
it's from the tool rtmpdump that get_iplayer executes to actually do the 
download and so we can't do anything about it here.   I agree that I'd 
like to see an option for a more user friendly output from that tool too.

rtmpdump has it's own mailing list here:
