Hello Steve :-)
 If you're in a hurry, the "webarchive" has a snapshot of the official site,
dated Mar 11th 2012; this is after the time the windows installer was last
updated, now being at version 4.5 (uploaded on infradead.org on
02-Nov-2011).
Go to this URL:
http://web.archive.org/web/20120311122304/http://www.infradead.org/get_iplay
er_win/

and download "get_iplayer_setup_latest.exe" , which is the same as
"get_iplayer_setup_4.5.exe" ; this will get you the installer you're
after...
 However, this installer downloads stuff (the dependencies) from the
internet, and for this it needs the info inside the file
"get_iplayer_config_latest.ini" .
This is the part I'm not sure of: if that .ini resides inside the installer,
then I presume the downloading should proceed normally - however, if the
installer cheks the contents of the .ini online from infradead.org
(currently down), then no downloading will occur. In that case, you may open
the .ini in your browser from this URL:
http://web.archive.org/web/20120311053336/http://www.infradead.org/get_iplay
er_win/get_iplayer_config_latest.ini
and download the dependencies manually, using the given URLs.
You'll have to manually un-zip/un-7z the packages using 7zip (free).
However, if you are not in a hurry and don't feel particularly adventurous,
you should wait, as advised by David, till the site is properly up...

Regards.

Hi,

Thanks for the information and help. I think I'll wait until the website is
back.

Regards,
Steve
