Tried to download a couple of progs today, and I'm getting "ERROR - Cannot download from service". Hope there's a smart person out there working on a fix?

Thanks very much for the reply, but unfortunately I don't know what Akamai is nor what CDN means!? Eager to learn though!

Oddly, the site is now working fine, which is great!

Make sure you're using the latest BBC plugin (v1.3.1). If you're not, then update your plugins (Help -> Check for new plugins).

To change your BBC plugin settings: Options -> Preferences... -> Plugins -> Settings tab, select bbc.co.uk from plugin list, then click "Options" button. Or see this page, it's rather similar, but for YouTube.
