The code ignores the error and just tries again up to a given number of
retries.  Try modifying the code to give more information.

Make a back up copy of your get_iplayer script.  Edit it and find
`sub request_url_retry' at the start of a line.  A few paragraphs down,
add the `$res->dump();' line where it's shown below, then save the file.

    for ($i = 0; $i < $retries; $i++) {
            $res = $ua->request( HTTP::Request->new( GET => $url ) );
            if ( ! $res->is_success ) {
                    $res->dump();
                    logger $failmsg if $i == $retries - 1;
            } else {
                    logger $succeedmsg;
                    last;
            }
    }

You should now get output on those failures.
