This is the authoritative statement from dinkypumpkin:

There have always been issues with the xml URL's, you'll periodically
see warnings in the output that get_iplayer couldn't access them but
those can safely be ignored if the cache then continues to populate.

get_iplayer tries to access the URL's three times and reports errors
when it can't on the first or second but will then go on to operate
correctly if it access it on the 3rd attempt.

The next release will only indicate an error if all 3 attempts failed,
to help prevent confusion.
