I can ask. But the people I know will probably have to pass it on via a
chain of others. So I have no idea if/when I'd get any answers. Chances
are, by then the problem will have mysteriously 'fixed itself' again!

IIRC 'missing segments' have been a problem in the past for periods.

BTW I suspect this they happen for some modes and not others. And it has
been reported on usenet that they can cause the resolution to abruptly
change downwards for the rest of a fetched item. 

But as yet, I've not seen the problem. So only have what others report to
go on. Should add for clarity that I've still been using 'old' versions of
gip, though, as I've not yet got around to getting and trying 3.00.

@Jim Web - Would it be possible for you to raise this with your BBC contact 
again?

Dave - see my "Can't download with GiP 3.00" thread, which asks essentially 
the same question.


Cheers,

Hi

First of all thanks for all the work to get gip working again.

I have suddenly discovered that some of my downloads are happening at
reduced resolution, on looking at the problem I have discovered that
with some programs I am getting a "Segment not available from server"
error, then it is aborting and dropping to a lower resolution, see
example below. (for information the previous episode of pointless
works fine)

I am guessing that this is a problem at the beeb end and not gip?

Segment not available from server

[Dave Widgery]

Hi

First of all thanks for all the work to get gip working again.

I have suddenly discovered that some of my downloads are happening at
reduced resolution, on looking at the problem I have discovered that
with some programs I am getting a "Segment not available from server"
error, then it is aborting and dropping to a lower resolution, see
example below. (for information the previous episode of pointless
works fine)

I am guessing that this is a problem at the beeb end and not gip?

Dave
