Using --force

[Jeremy Nicoll - ml get_iplayer]

Using v2.83

Last night I downloaded a radio programme as an .m4a file then tried to
refetch it as an mp3.  I used the command:

 get_iplayer "baldi" --type=radio --get --aactomp3 -force


I'd expected the "--force" to tell GiP to ignore the fact that the programme
had already been downloaded, and get it again.  But instead GiP did a
refresh of the cache and told me the programme was already downloaded.  Is
that as expected?

I fixed the problem by deleting the line in download_history that described
the previous download.
