Cannot download Top of the Lake: China Girl Ep 2 via PID

user-1889

I am trying to download a specific program via a PID, it is showing in the iplayer site, and can download it from the site, but get no information back as to why it cannot be downloaded (I have downloaded others in the series via their pid)
command is

>get_iplayer --pid p057mmxq

There is no info given, it seems a valid PID as if I change it to an invalid one I get the appropriate response.
Thanks

thanks for the response, the --verbose parameter provided enough information that I was able to diagnose the problem, thanks, I'd missed it in the --helplong output.
