I think you need to set --modes= to a list of the modes you're willing to
download.  Suppose that the default is something like:

  flashaachigh,flashaacstd,flashaaclow,wma

but that at the time that your fetch is attempted only the lower quality
files are actually working properly from the content provider... then GiP
has probably tried the high quality ones, they've failed and the lower
quality one has been fetched.  If you code for example

  --modes=flashaachigh,flashaacstd

then I think only those quality levels would be attempted.
