Hi Guys,

We’re aware of the problem and it will be fixed shortly.

Hi Lawrence,
I have the same problem as almost all the posts above which surprisingly stopped in August 2009 and there has not been any reply ever since. When I click on a download, a blank progress bar briefly pops up, then Growl tells me that it’s not possible to download that particular show.
Is there any chance to get your comments on this very peculiar situation?
I trust you must be inundated with queries and would be much grateful if you would post some advice.
Thanks

I have loaded the iPlayer download as instructed but when I click on a programme to download a notification says ‘the programme could not be downloaded’ A copy of a file is left on my desktop but it is of zero size.
Please help

Since around the end of September 09 I keep getting an error message and nothing downloads.

‘the program could not be downloaded’

Oops, input wronng email address, please respond to this post: I have iPlayer Downloader 3.3 on my Mac. Since returning from 2 weeks in North America (with my laptop), I can’t now download anything using this software. Previously, I would often have to wait a day or two before some programmes would download, now I can’t download anything. I have run the software update and am told I have the latest version. This is really frustrating, can anyone suggest why I can’t now download anything? I have OS Leopard 10.5.8.

Any help MUCH appreciated!

Hi,
I have just tried using iPlayer Downloader today 5/10/09 but it can’t seem to download anything at all – looks like the Beeb must have done something to stop it working. It worked fine when I used it a couple of weeks ago.
Hope you manage to fix it as it’s realy useful.
Richard

I find the same problem in 3.3 with programmes not donwloading

I click on them, the litle window with the progress bar comes up, but almost immediately disappears i.e stops downloading.

On the desktop a quicktime file apperars, but of course it won’t open because it only started to download for asplit second.

Hi,
iPlayer Downloader has been working fine for a number of months — but starting today I cannot download anything at all, even programs that I have already sucessfully downloaded earlier this week. Is it just me, or are other people being affected?
Cheers,
Paul

I notice there is a proxy window in the preferences.

Can this be made to refer to proxy settings in network control panel?

Hi,
version 3.3 doesn’t work for me, is this a general problem or not.
I see that last post to the blog is 2008, has development stopped

Anybody have any ideas: Some programs wont even download and others download as an incomplete movie file about 20mb and cannot be played.

Thanks

The latest version 3.3 seems to have some problems. I tried to download some Glastonbury footage, and got the message that this file couldn’t be downloaded, but I was able to download and play it with the official iPlayer.
Also some of the downloaded files came up with the message, not a movie file.
maybe the file format, or download format have changed?

Just downloaded this, but it doesn’t seem to download the HD files, if you click on the ‘Watch in HD’ link, it just downloads the low quality file.

Seem to be finding a lot of programmes cannot be downloaded. Tried Landward and Casualty in the past couple of days and tested several others today.
Some programmes will download but most that I tried wouldn’t.

I was wondering if the last version can download the HD programming as well?
