Ah! At last! This is most excellent - I was thinking just today that so much of what I read on the mailing list would be better as FAQs.
And this mailing list is doing my head in - the software is so hopelessly antiquated, it won't even tag subject lines with "get_iplayer". And it also defaults to replying to the sender, not the list (as I just noticed after my post failed to appear after 8 hours!) So the forum is most welcome too. Thank you dinkypumpkin and Square Penguin for making our lives that little bit easier! "get_iplayer - making the undownloadable, downloadable".
