As a matter of fact, you answered my question, and I am installing it now.
Simon's answer, however, made me realize one additional possibility.
So, I'll be implementing them both.
Thanks!

One thing that I would like to do is to install it on a different

Your download history is stored in a file named (appropriately enough)
"download_history", which can be found in:
Windows 7: C:\Users\<username>\.get_iplayer
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\.get_iplayer
Immediately after you install get_iplayer on the second machine, copy
the "download_history" file from the old machine to the equivalent
location on the new machine. When you run get_iplayer on the new
machine, it should use the download history you copied over and prevent
re-downloading or any programmes.
Simon's reply made me realise I probably answered the wrong question. If
you just want to transfer your get_iplayer installation to another
machine (my earlier assumption), use the above instructions. If you
actually want to keep 2 machines in sync, Simon's suggestion to use
Dropbox (or similar) is the way to go. Make sure syncing is complete
before running get_iplayer (to avoid overwriting the download history
and programme cache files).
