I would just like a little help moving get_iplayer from windows to

management for about 10 years, but a long time ago and mainly on SUN
microsystems kit, since then I have really only used PC's and then
only as a basic user, and I

Hi
I have just installed the latest 32 bit version of Peppermint on a old
notebook that I have won, I thought that I might have a play around
with get_iplayer on it (I have only previously used windows versions)
but not sure which installation would be best, that is if one is
available.
Thanks
If you are using the --force to override because you have already
downloaded the program once, you could try editing the
download_history file and remove the entry, then you wouldn't need to
use the --force when you run the command.

Hi
For many years I have used get_iplayer very successfully for
downloading bbc content (thanks to all who maintain it) but a year ago
I got a firestick and thought that I would be able to use that rather
than downloading everything with get_iplayer, but I was wrong. ITV
hub, Channel4, UKtv and
this.

or there due to download errors the figures may not add up
for an easy compare, but the length of the program in minutes should
be close enough even if the odd few seconds have been lost here and
