Ok, this is the command line:
perl get_iplayer.pl  --modes=flashhd1  --stop=5060 --attempts=1
--file-prefix="<name>-<episode>-Part1" --pid p00w2r5c --force
--verbose > log.txt

Unfortunately I don't have the full output as it got overwritten and
what is redirected to the log.txt is somewhat different to what I see
on stdout (in the dos window).

I can re-do it if it would help you figure this out.

I was hoping that would be the case. If that's a way forward then I'll
just try to get the chunks in first instead of what I've been doing,
which is to discard them and start over.

Ok going to read up on those two links and thanks for sticking with
me, I appreciate it.
