It's been like for for the last month at lest. I have tried this on 3 different macs personally and one of my friends tried it to.
It used to work and I loved it, was a great bit of software. Meant I didn't have to rush to watch programs before they expire.
It really should be updated or taken off of the site.

This fantastic app downloaded the entire episode in less than 5 mins and now I can watch it when I like and on my iPhone :-)
I'll be adding it to my macmini list of apps to make watching the BBC when I want as easy as pie!
Thank you developers!

The biggest irony is that it's better than the AIR based BBC iPlayer, but not in the DRM -stripping way you might think;
The iPlayer application prioritises it's streaming video way above the downloads, in short, this means that your hour long program can takes hours to download. However, this app gets it's files directly via the Stream, which basically means you can get it as fast as your DSL will let you.
In short, even if you don't have issues with DRM, this little program destroys the official iPlayer application on multiple levels, there is really no reason not to use this instead.

However, I have noticed that it doesn't seem to be able to deal with age restricted content.
All age restricted content requires the viewer to confirm that they are older than the age limit, by clicking on a red strip that is placed across the bottom part of the preview still.
The iPlayer Grabber don't give me the option to confirm my age, and therefore it doesn't download the actual video content.
So, if you want to download something that is age restricted, I guess you're out of luck.
