First, some needed pointers:

1. Please reply to the list, not to individual list members (Kevin Lynch in 
this case);
in some extreme cases where you need to share something (e.g. off topic 
content)
in private, I'd understand that - but this is not advised or condoned on a 
mailing list
and this is not the way mailing lists are supposed to work; all members 
should see
your message(s) so that someone of them with the knowledge/spare time/good 
mood etc.
responds to your query...

2. When you DO reply to the list, please respect the netiquette:
a. DO NOT TOP POST! For the nth time during those 2.5 years that I have been
following (intermittently) this list, only roughly 2 days ago there was 
again a revived
discussion on this topic, see the thread at:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2013-July/004744.html

b. When you DO BOTTOM POST, only quote before your reply the absolutely
needed /relevant excerpts of the e-mail you are replying to / commenting 
upon -
not the whole previous conversation (which is what you did on your very last 
post
on the list).

3. Now, English is not my first language, Greek is - FYI, I also speak and 
write (with many
errors...) in French and I do understand quite well Italian (but can't 
write).
When I do write in English though, I try to observe proper syntax, grammar 
and correct
spelling - helas, this is a battle lost from the start, since oftentimes a 
lot of errors creep in
(ones I realise sadly after I have hit "Send").
You can call me "Old School", but don't you have a "CAPS LOCK" button on 
your machine?
Just as writing in all capital letters is frowned upon, I also find that 
writing everything in small
characters is equally annoying (at least for me); maybe my old(-ish) age is 
showing up,
but last time I checked this mailing list was not a twitter feed, nor an SMS 
service...

 If, for some reason on your side, you did not receive my reply,
there's always the mail list archive, in two formats:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2013-July/date.html#start

http://www.mail-archive.com/get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org/maillist.html

My specific reply to your predicament is found at:

http://www.mail-archive.com/get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org/msg04558.html

or

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2013-July/004707.html

where I have provided working example of command line + download log.

Chris, with all due respect, the members of this list are not clairvoyants
(err, not that I know off...); you'd have to provide more info than this
"generic" -- cannot --.

OS used, version of get_iplayer installed, physical location, command line 
tried
and (more importantly) console output with the errors printed during your
failed attempt(s) are the info needed if someone's to try sorting this 
out...

Kind regards,
Vangelis.
