Further to this I have just had an issue with a recent download which 
was shown as pre-watershed and then crashed for some reason.  The 
download then started again automatically but then came as the 
'original' version even though the time of the download was before the 
watershed.


Subsequently I have tried to download during the day time using pid 
and the pre-watershed version comes up although it seems to me 
unlikely the subject matter would be watershed sensitive, e.g.:- 
'Operation_Gold_Rush_with_Dan_Snow_Series_1_-_1._Mountain_Passes_b0824c97_original.' 



This raises two question;

How do I force the 'original' version for download, since it is 
clearly extant irrespective of ToD?


If you append --info to the command line, it will show the versions 
available.


To download the original version (if it exists online at the time) , 
just append --version=original. Currently, for the pid in question, the 
only versions available are "audiodescribed" and "original". For the 
second episode, it's "audiodescribed" and "prewatershed".


It's not the first time that the BBC has uploaded further versions a day 
or two after the initial versions. I'm guessing that the only difference 
between "prewatershed" and "original" is language, i.e. the deletion of 
an expletive.

Many thanks Alan, exactly what I needed.  Pity life gets more 
complicated.  I shall look again in a day or so to see if the original 
is now available.  Not critical but I prefer the unexpurgated versions 
if available!

Is there some filter/process that directs or qualifies the version which 
is downloaded and can this be bypassed?
