get_iplayer not working for bbc show

[mrswhite]

Hi there

I've been trying to download this show: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06ns5qf but so far i've been unsuccessful.

I even got a VPN software install that can use a UK ip, which in fact allowed me to watch that program live, but when I tried to use either get_iplayer or youtube-dl none worked.

When I tried using get_iplayer (my vpn with a UK ip was connected), apparently I recognised that I wasn't in the UK and it gave me a message indicating that the "pid" couldn't be found and that usually can happen when one is not in the UK. I've read that the BBC have been blocking some VPNs so maybe this is the reason why.

So I tried youtube-dl instead. It was a pretty straightforward command youtube-dl "http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06ns5qf" and it began downloading but it kept disconnecting. I've used up all of my VPN bandwidth and it didn't download even 40% and it was all up in fragments which I've deleted.

I tried using it again but I think this VPN software caused some trouble in my network adapter cause I couldn't connect to the internet afterwards and my computer kept rebooting. Anyway, that's besides the point.

I was wondering if anyone could help me download this video please.

Thank you in advance.
