I think you mean the index number, not the PID. The index number can change whenever the cache updates. PIDs don't change.

It's easiest to use --force --overwrite to replace a bad file. Just target to the PID or index # for the specific episode you want to replace. It puts another entry in the download history for that episode, which is harmless.

Or edit the history in:

%USERPROFILE%\.get_iplayer\download_history

It's a plain text file. Just delete the line(s) for the episodes you want to download again.
