Hello.
I have found lots of archived programmes of one of my favourite programmes on the BBC site but unfortunately it seems they can only be listened to and recorded with Audacity but not downloaded. Using Audacity will take months so i want to know if anyone can recommend any way that i can download them?
I have Steam Transport which works fine on videos but doesn't work with this 'Listen again'.

Thank you in advance- B

If you mean from http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/ then RVC does the job you want. ;)

Hi,
Thank you for your help.
However, i am useless at this sort of thing. I entered the PID into the converter and it gave me links to play it in Windows Media Player? Not a download? Please could you help me with this? Im struggling... :0(

Grrrrrrr.....Im now trying to use IDM and im getting the message 'The requested file doesn't exist'?
I have added a JPEG of a screenshot of what happens?

I used iPlayer converter and got this link:
mms://wm.bbc.co.uk/wms/radio4fmcoyopa/radio_4_fm_-_monday_2000.mp4

I added this to IDM and got the message 'The requested file doesn't exist'?

I can 'add url' to IDM but iplayer converter gives me exactly the same details every time:
mms://wm.bbc.co.uk/wms/radio4fmcoyopa/radio_4_fm_-_monday_2000.mp4

No matter what iplayer listen again link i enter into it, it still gives me this link?
Please help.

Hi,
Thank you, but I know how to rename it but my point is that no matter which date of that programme i put inti iPlayer converter, it just produces the same programme.
For example:
This listen again page-
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00kr7bf
so i put b00kr7bf into iplayer converter and it produces this-

mms://wm.bbc.co.uk/wms/radio4/secure_auth/international/RBN2_radio_4_fm_-_friday_1600_b00kr72g_2009_06_05_16_02_11.mp4

However, this page-
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00k9pb4
produces this:
mms://wm.bbc.co.uk/wms/radio4fmcoyopa/radio_4_fm_-_friday_1600.mp4

And sometimes I do it and it says 'The requested file doesn't exsist'

No need to download other software just use your web browser and change mms to http and Save page as radio_4_fm_-_friday_1600.wma. :)

Hi,
Thank you for that.....however, I do not have the option to 'change' the 'mms' bit? It is shaded when IDM appears?

Im so sorry for all this.
