 BBC iPlayer won't download programmes - Manatee
Hoping somebody has got further with this problem than I have!

I'm in the boondocks for a few days using a not-very-broadband USB stick; we visited our daughter in Cambridge today and I wanted to use her broadband connection to download a couple of programmes.

iPlayer just wouldn't download them though. There was a "download" button for the programmes in question, but after a few seconds of the 'thinking' symbol, nothing happened.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled both iPlayer desktop and Adobe Air but it has made no difference. The connection was reasonable (1.5Mbps); I'm using Windows 7. Nothing I can find in the iPlayer support pages.

Any suggestions welcome - TIA.

M.
