The specifics of my repeated failures is:
I'm trying to download the 2nd series of The Split. I used
   g --pid=p0818j9r --pid-recursive
and got the 1st 3 episodes perfectly, followed by failed attempts at
episodes 4-6.

The I used this command
   g --pid p0818kjf,p0818l1y,p0818lfz
to get the last 3 episodes - this has failed at least 10 times. And
typidcal speeds I see vary between 0.3 to 1.1.
I have tried at many different times throughout a 24-hour period.

Errors I see are often like the following:
INFO: Downloading tv: 'The Split: Series 2 - 05. Episode 5 (p0818l1y)
[original]'
WARNING: Using existing DASH audio file:
D:\Downloads\BBCiPlayerDownloads\The_Split_Series_2_-_05._Episode_5_p0818l1y_original.dash.m4a
WARNING: Use --overwrite to re-download
INFO: Downloaded: 11.72 MB (00:00:38) @ 1.27 Mb/s (dvfsd1/bi) [video]
WARNING: Unexpected size for file segment [18]
WARNING: Expected: 1415668  Downloaded: 736248
WARNING: This indicates a problem with your network connection to the
media server
WARNING: No streams available for 'original' version (p0818l42) -
skipping (retry)

My relevant preferences are as follows:
   tvmode = dvfsd,dvfxsd
   subtitles = 1
   subsmono = 1

Today (at around 2am) I have got to 87.6% of Episode 4 (0.99GB) before
failing again. If relevant, only Episode 1 is in the cache, hence my
use of PIDs.
