Is there any way to disable the time sensitive drm on iplayer downloads?

I have a couple of things downloaded which I want to send to my daughter in
Japan but it seems that the clock is ticking...

That was my first thought but I couldn't seem to get to grips with the
download it just cycled...

Maybe a different browser?

You want the .pkg from here
https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer_macos/releases/tag/3.30.0

Seems to be no issue in any of my browsers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Then follow along https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/osx

Cheers - Jaimie

It worked just fine on Safari for me just now!

No idea what the problem was earlier...

Thanks Chris for getting me to try again.

I wanted two episodes and it was trick identifying them from the information
that came back after the search so I did the five and they binned the extras...

May I suggest trying Get iPlayer Automator? It works fine for me, no issues
with identifying individual episodes.
