Exactly the same problem for me (but with WebPVR) - Radio not 
downloading since at least Monday (didn't try over weekend, last 
successful recording previous Friday). Get_iPlayer tries hard but 
ultimately fails with radio, TV recording works fine.

For radio, a "partial" file is created on the HD but is deleted when 
failure is confirmed and Get_iPlayer then moves on to the next radio 
show (to fail again).

I notice one odd thing in the command prompt that I haven't seen before. 
At the end there are three entries that say "Wide character in print at 
get_iplayer.pl line 311". Usually I just see something about missing 
favicon.

I run Get_iPlayer using webpvr and I have it recording TV and radio to 
two different directories on the same local HD. The only added setting I 
use is "best" and I have not changed anything recently in my setup.
