I'd guess that the change of the swf a few months ago was the culprit.
If you recall it was making downloads fail randomly depending on the
direction of the wind and the CDN used. You will also need to delete
the .swfinfo file if you patch get_iplayer for a proper fix.

Ah! Deleting the .swfinfo seems to have fixed things. Thanks very much to everyone. I assume that file didn't exist on my fresh Ubuntu installation so it worked straight away. Sorry for causing all the noise on the list for a problem that had already been fixed months ago.

I agree a new version of the script (tagged with a new number) would be very helpful. It also looks like the change log isn't very up to date. It makes diagnosing problems more difficult, you think you've got the latest version but actually haven't.
