Not so. The subdirectory name is also sanitised with --fatfilename, as you can see from the example Vangelis posted. Without seeing your command or the full output, it's impossible to know where you went wrong.

Okay, I think I've figured part of it out. There was a zero length file in the download folder called 'Afternoon Drama'. GiP was trying to create a *folder* called 'Afternoon Drama', but couldn't because that would have been a name clash.

As to *why* there was a file called 'Afternoon Drama', maybe someone at the BBC isn't very good at naming files. As for why it was zero length, I don't know, but I've been getting a lot of them - about one download out of every ten, tv and radio.

So with thanks to Shevek, here's...the kapitano's log:
