Fairly easy to slow down everything on a Linux interface. If anyone has
the time/inclination, maybe worth investigating the tc command.

Having a thought about this, when you stream something through IPlayer or on
a device of any sort to watch as it streams, it pulls data at a far lower
rate than when we try and download the whole programme in one hit. I wonder
whether it is this attempt to get the data quickly that is causing the
problem. If I were wearing a tin hat I would say it could have been a
deliberate change to cause problems to people using get_iplayer :-)
I think that's unlikely. That said, if someone were to add rate-limiting
options to get_iplayer I'd be very happy.
