Hi,
I have been using get_iplayer successfully for quite a while but when trying to download a radio show now I get the following error:
ERROR: Cannot open (write): C:\Users\User\Desktop\iPlayer Recordings\David_Rodigan_-_Lila_Ike_Interview_b09wysp3_original.audio.m4a

It finds the show ok but seems like it can't save it.

I am using Windows 10 64 bit
get_iplayer version 3.13.0

The command and response I got are:
C:\Users\User>get_iplayer --PID b09wysp3

I have attached a verbose log.

I use a VPN to connect as I am outside of the UK but have not had problems before. Could this be the problem and if so is this the error that would return?

Thanks in advance for any help offered.
