Ah, so obvious when someone explains it to you ;-) I can confirm this fixed my problem, although I already had 2.79. This is my console output when I copied get_iplayer and tried to redownload the programme I was after yesterday: get_iplayer v2.79, Copyright (C) 2008-2010 Phil Lewis This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details use --warranty.

Thanks for the sleuthing. :> _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
