Large filesizes (re-formatted)

[Nick Payne]

I have no problem on Linux with get_iplayer downloading files over 4Gb. 
One of the Wimbledon tennis matches I downloaded a couple of nights ago 
in HD is a 5.1Gb file. The version of rtmpdump is whatever is in the ppa 
I installed from: running rtmpdump -version shows:

RTMPDump v2.4-n87-gita9f353c-ppa8~saucy
