Glad it is working for you now.
As for your previous downloads the simple answer is renaming alone won't work. However you can easily convert the flv downloaded file to whatever it is containing using ffmpeg.
So type this in a terminal (if it is a radio download):
Code:
ffmpeg -i nameofprogram.partial.aac.flv -acodec copy nameofprogram.aac
If you do not have ffmpeg installed type this into the terminal to install it:
Code:
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
It will ask for your password.
For a fuller explanation:

get_iplayer downloads programmes in a Flash Video container file (flv). So if it is a radio programme in aac format, then the download will be a Flash Video Container file (flv), containing an aac audio file.
When the download completes, get_iplayer extracts the aac from the container file (flv) and then deletes the flv.
If get_iplayer fails to complete the download, you are left with an flv container instead of the required file.
