Hello, I downloaded
Athletics_-_World_Championships_2013_Day_1_Part_4_b0398f5h_default.

The modes for the program are:
flashhigh1=2536MB,flashhigh2=2536MB,flashstd1=1529MB,flashstd2=1529MB,flashvhigh1=4779MB,flashvhigh2=4779MB,rtsphigh1=2536MB,rtsphigh2=2536MB,rtspstd1=1529MB,rtspstd2=1529MB,rtspvhigh1=4779MB,rtspvhigh2=4779MB.

I use 'get_iplayer --nopurge -g --modes=best' to download, expecting to
get a 4.7GB file. But actually I only get a 2.5GB file.

The output when I run the download command is:

As you can see it is successfully connecting to the flashvhigh stream
but I am only getting the flashhigh file size.

I am using a the latest version of get_iplayer from git on Linux.

Thanks

P.S. I just noticed that the same thing is happening on Athletics -
World Championships: 2013: Day 1, Part 3.
