That's the first and only time I've ever seen it to be honest. As I said
in another posting, it downloaded fine later, so I guess it was a problem
with the stream itself.
When it *was* causing problems, I tried it again on my other PC (same
get_iplayer build 2.83, but under XP on a Dell desktop) with the same
Windows crash alert.
It does sound as if the OP (chrisjbrady) is having all sorts of problems
with get_iplayer from his other postings!
I'll let you know if I do see any more errors, but generally GP "simply
works" in my case.
