Are there any notes on how to update the Windows installation of
get_iplayer? Up to now I have always used the Windows installer. I think
there used to be an update option, but I have not seen that for some time.
Sometimes a new version of the Perl interpreter or one of the utilities will
be needed, but I assume most of the time I only need to replace
get_iplayer.pl (and get_iplayer.cgi if I want to use the PVR). Is there
anywhere I can download just those two files?
Earlier in the week I downloaded the Windows installer for v2.99. It was
16.2Mbyte. My allegedly 3G (4G is not allowed) connection here seems to
have been throttled to about 40kbit/s. The first two attempts failed and I
could not resume them, so the download took almost a morning. I have at
least been able to avoid time-consuming refreshes of the caches thanks to
Howard Orgel's suggestion to set
get_iplayer --prefs-add --expiry 1382400
