Package: get-iplayer Version: 2.78-2 Severity: important I ran an 'at' job overnight of the form get_iplayer --get $(get_iplayer | grep 'my prog name' | cut -d: -f1)
Unfortunately, the grep failed (there was no program of this name at the time the job ran) and so get_iplayer --get had no program id numbers. The result? It attempted to download the entire iPlayer catalogue :-( And I overran my usage allowance - it downloaded around 13 GB and was at most 15% of the way through the list of programs. "get_iplayer --get" with no program ids should bail out or ask for confirmation; only an explicit request such as "get_iplayer --get ALL" should be allowed to attempt to download hundreds of gigabytes without explicit confirmation.
