In general, please state what operating system and version you're
using, as well as what version of get_iplayer you have.  I can deduce
from your log extracts that you're using my ppa, and probably on
Ubuntu Lucid, but I can't be certain as these binaries work on more
than Ubuntu, and certainly on more than one version of Ubuntu,  It
helps to know which...

You're not alone: sometimes rtmpdump cannot resume a
failed/interrupted download.  The workaround is to remove the
partially downloaded file (it'll be named *.partial.*) and try again.
