A well formulated question. :)

Think in these terms:

1. Using iplayer with flash involves downloading a file.

2. Wouldn't it be nice if the file could be downloaded, preferably using
   a program which is in a package in the Debian archives?

3. Such a package has been mentioned in this thread. It is extensively
   documented at the program's home page and in its manual.

4. The file being downloaded is a .flv. While it is being downloaded it
   is being stored on disk so it can be accessed and viewed. vlc is one
   player which can view .flv files.
