iPlayer downloader


[link to this post]
 
Anyone else having problems downloading with this ATM? I want to get 3 programs (got 1 so far) they get to about 95% or so, then up pops the message saying that the program cannot be downloaded . Is it the BBC or Be?.

If you click on Download - it will resume.

Having said that iPlayer (I'm plumping for the Beeb being at fault) does prodce more problems at present. Today I downloaded Countryfile and the Andreww Marr Show. Both of which gave an 'Application not Responding' after about ten minutes.

I have discovered this one, however the file produced sometimes has green video with a loud buzzing noise for sound in some parts.

I had this the other day. It appears that Quicktime locks up.

Finally managed to get all 3 programs. It was a case of restarting the download when it stopped and then scanning through the file to check it. The last program went all the way through without dropping out but it took a long time. I was monitoring the network activity and it came in bursts of a couple of seconds (sometimes a bit longer), separated by gaps of nothing for several seconds.

Using iPlayer under Safari there is no stuttering playing back the same program(s).

I can't make that one work either

Gets to 90-odd percent, then comes up "Download cancelled".

Wonder if the BBC has changed something again.
