which gave me

but I couldn't for the life of my work out how to "point" get_iplayer to it.
There is an option for that. See if you can spot it:
https://github.com/dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer/wiki/options#external-program-options
Don't edit %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\get_iplayer\options - that's for use by the
installer.
But I was wondering if there's a way to get round this if it happens
with other components?
No. The installer configuration file (with download links) is
downloaded every time the installer runs.
Of could the installer perhaps have a second "failover mirror" list
for the components?
If the download sites should ever become consistently unreliable, I'll
post all the helper apps on Sourceforge and let them do the mirroring.
Sites such as the one you used are no good for the installer because
they don't give direct access to the download, in the above case
employing javascript to direct your browser to the actual download link.
