Recording 'archived' items on iplayer site

[Kevin Lynch]

Hi

Funny that - I tried this earlier today. This page for the archive.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qykl
Yields the PID - b006qykl
 get_iplayer --pid=b006qykl --type=radio --pid-recursive
has a go at downloading the archive. I've not let it run as somewhere
in the get_iplayer doc it says don't download whole archives.
In that spirit what I did do was download 100 shows I most wanted to
listen to with some hackery, including a 70 Second pause between
downloads.
