I'd like to think there's a technical reason why this didn't work on Saturday morning but I'm sure I'd be kidding myself...

I have an issue when trying to download the morning episode for Day 27.  I'm using
get_iplayer --pid p00rh5qb

It all goes, sort of OK, until: (the original error has been lost, so this is from the first report I have).

Couldn't resume FLV file, try --skip 1


And it carries on line this until it aborts.

The first time I ran it, it was at around 4G, so I thought - aha. 32bit filesize limit, but rtmpdump is a 64 bit app.  Then the 2nd time I tried it it aborted out at 2,249,778,678 bytes, so it's not related to that.

Does anyone have any ideas about what could be causing it?

Thanks,
Jimmy
