I also download overnight and have discovered that the pid is not always correct if you wait several hours between searching for a pid and recording.

I think you mean the index number, not the PID.  The index number can 
change whenever the cache updates.  PIDs don't change.

It's easiest to use --force --overwrite to replace a bad file.  Just 
target to the PID or index # for the specific episode you want to 
replace.  It puts another entry in the download history for that 
episode, which is harmless.

Or edit the history in:

%USERPROFILE%\.get_iplayer\download_history

It's a plain text file.  Just delete the line(s) for the episodes you 
want to download again.
