And some more:

You may find some screwy metadata in your downloads as well.  If fields 
formerly found in the now-dead data feeds aren't overwritten by values 
in other metadata sources, you will see some junk data containing a 
warning about feeds being no longer available.  It has also been 
reported that thumbnails aren't downloaded for programmes less than 7 
days old when downloaded via --pid. I think both of these issues are due 
to pre-existing problems in get_iplayer that have only come to light 
with the data feeds gone.
