reduce download size for radio?

user-2296

hey people

So since I updated get_iplayer a few weeks ago I noticed that radio shows I download are generally a much bigger size.
My question is is there any way of reducing the quality and therefore the download size?
This is strictly a BBC radio question.

Code:
48 kbps     get_iplayer --prefs-add --radiomode=worst

but I now get a message that `worst` is being upgraded to `good` (96 kbps).

Perhaps this is a change in minimum quality in the move to BBC Sounds.

I'd love to know if there is a workaround too!
