Trying to download an episode of Classic Serial.  For reasons only they 
Know, BBC has used the same title for episode 5 and episode 6.  I have 5 
and am trying to get 6 but the download fails.  Here is the text from 
terminal:-

Not seen these symptoms before.  Could it be result of recent updates 
and my errors?

Grateful for some help please.
