It seems to me that downloads have become very slow, often not
completing. Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon?

I find the same with the audio part of DVF downloads - the speed of the
audio download is always at less than 10% of the speed of the vide
The specifics of my repeated failures is:
I'm trying to download the 2nd series of The Split. I used
g --pid=p0818j9r --pid-recursive
and got the 1st 3 episodes perfectly, followed by failed attempts at
episodes 4-6.
The I used this command
g --pid p0818kjf,p0818l1y,p0818lfz
to get the last
And the way I have got to 87.6% is by stopping the transfer every 10%
and doing a robocopy to a separate folder.

Your only real remedy is to complain, complain and complain again to
your ISP, or find a better ISP. Is there anywhere near you with a

I'd have thought it's the CDN choice that's being made rather than ISP.
For example, having the line ‘exclude-supplier bidi’ in my
~/.get_iplayer/options fixed a problem for me

Unfortunately the problem certainly doesn't lie with my ISP. I say
unfortunately, because it's relatively easy to change ISP. But my
quoted speeds are 100Mbps/40Mbps, and on some sites I get my 10Mbps
per second. With get_iplayer I have in the past seen speeds up to
perhaps 8 Mb/s, but nowadays it'

Using this option now produces a 500% speed increase, which satisfies
me. Thank you very much.
