Increasing disc space available to BBCiplayer

Hi,
I hope someone can help.
I am often not available to watch a lot of the programmes I want to watch on tv when they are originally broadcast so tend to watch or record via BBCiplayer.
Some of my programs are on 'series record' but I keep getting a message saying that there is a problem with downloading them as there is not enough disc space allocated to BBCiplayer.
The problem I have is, I don't know how to increase it, there is plenty of disc space available to be able to increase it.

I am using Windows 7 - looking at libraries, it seems to store the ones it does automatically in the 'videos' library in a folder called 'repository' which is within the folder 'BBC iplayer'.
I've tried looking at the properties of the file and it says the size is 6.62GB but there is no clue as to how to increase this.
Any ideas anyone please?

Thanks in advance

    Open iplayer desktop application, preferences top right hand corner and general

    There is an option to maximum iplayer desktop library space

    Thanks Colin, I had not noticed that little box. I have done that now and increased the space to 10GB.
    Thanks a lot for your help.
