Vangelis you're a genius (as always)!

I think I did find those pages, but I must have taken the wrong string as a 
pid.  It told me No media streams found.  I thought at first I was going to 
have the same error with your --pid-recursive suggestion.  It was trying 
large numbers of pids and saying No media streams found.  Eventually it 
found Saturday's Dressage and downloaded it, and then Sunday's Dressage.  It 
didn't find the third one, yesterday's cross-country, but it may be that it 
takes a day or so to be made available.  Your warning about the file sizes 
is noted.  I'll have to break them up before I move them to the FAT32 
external drive.

Best wishes
Richard
