I used to have the same problem on my old WinXP laptop. Seemed to be caused by very unstable wireless connection; drop-outs caused rtmpdump to hang and overload. Temp solution was to kill rtmpdump from TaskManager, delete the temporary file in the get_iPlayer temp folder, and restart the download. I didn't try on a wired connection to check if that stopped it happening. See a similar rtmpdump issue in RadioDownloader bugzilla.nerdoftheherd.com/show_bug.cgi?id=588 _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
