Coast issues

[Charlie Heard]

Hi,

Just come back off holiday, and I'm trying to catch up on things. I'm
getting errors trying to get the latest Coast episodes 4 & 5.

I ran the PVR download, and it completed Coast very quickly - the file was
tiny. I've tried running it from the command line in Win7x64, and it starts
fine. It will download for several seconds at 1.4Mb, then it will slow to a
crawl, timeout, restart a few times and then crash rtmpdump. Sometimes it
gets to 15%, sometimes to 1%. If I close get_iplayer  while it's retrying, I
can get it do download several more percent at high speed before slowing
again. In this way, I managed to get close to 40%.

I've tried downloading the latest Windows install and reinstalling
get_iplayer and rtmpdump, even though they were up to date. An example log
is below. I originally tried with "mode=best", and changed it to see if that
cured it. 

Does anyone have any ideas why it should be behaving like this after a week
away?

Thanks
Charlie
