Fourth attempt, here are some suggestions/requests for features ...

1)	How near are we to an option to download the 320kbps streams that I have
seen discussed?

2)	How near are we to an option to download output from other sources, such
as RTE previously discussed, but also C4, ITV?

3)	Print the time when starting a download, so that later the finish time
can be estimated.

4)	As previously requested, a command-line option to camelise the filename,
for example ...
	Letter_From_America_By_Alistair_Cooke
... instead of the default ...
	Letter_from_America_by_Alistair_Cooke

5)	As previously requested, a command-line option to prevent the cache being
flushed and re-downloaded.

6)	A command-line option to change the rtmpdump timeout default, currently
hardcoded to 10  -  I am having to use 100 because of the slowness and
flakiness of my internet connection, still unfixed by BT after reported as a
fault a month ago.

7)	A command-line option, perhaps linked to the --force and/or --overwrite
options, to clear duplicates from the download history, by choosing either
the HD version or the most recently downloaded version and deleting others.

Thanks for all the work.
