If you change those instances of 1024.0, the file size accumulator will 
be only 1/4 the correct value.  The percentages are computed from 
timestamps.

I put it in, but my broadband isn't fast enough to test it.  I'm not 
sure it will make a huge difference since the relevant loops are 
indeterminate.

For Windows users having trouble with their super-fast fibre connections 
(this one's for you Shevek), I've placed a Windows build of rtmpdump 
with the changes above at:

https://bitbucket.org/dinkypumpkin/rtmpdump/downloads/rtmpdump-v2.4-66-gd3b73cf+get_iplayer.1.zip

To test it, unpack the archive into some convenient folder, then add the 
path to the enclosed rtmpdump.exe to your command line with the 
--flvstreamer option:

get_iplayer --flvstreamer \path\to\rtmpdump.exe ...

The zip archive is a full rtmpdump distribution, but you only need 
rtmpdump.exe for this exercise.

And remember to add --verbose to your test downloads so we can see what 
is going on in case of problems.
