Is this Linux?  get_iplayer here uses the current working directory for
all its large intermediate files.  If that was a `tmpfs' filesystem then
they would all sit in RAM, unless you've swap space and pressure caused
pages from the filesystem to be swapped out.

You could use get_iplayer's --command option to run a command to move
each final file off tmpfs as the download is finished.  Its --output
affects all the intermediate files too, AIUI.
