        <title>Downloading over 4GB?</title>
        <description> I tried to download this programme:- BBC iPlayer

The programme is in HD and is around 4.25GB.
Each time it gets to 4GB it stops. I believe it's something to do with Vista or Windows 7 limiting files to 4GB on a 32bit system.

- is there a way around this to download more than 4GB?

- can the BBC iPlayer plug-in have an option to download in a lower quality. At the moment it will only download the highest available quality. If this programme could be downloaded in a lower quality, the file size would be under the 4GB limit.

I'd be really grateful for your help as the programme will be removed from the BBC iPlayer very soon.

Thank you &amp; best wishes!</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ OK, here is a version of the plugin that will download the second highest quality stream instead of the best one. In this case it produces a ~2.5GB file.<br />
<br />
To use it, drop it into the Plugins folder in FRD's installation directory, and restart FRD. When you don't want to use it anymore, just delete the file from the Plugins directory, restart FRD, and update plugins.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Would it be possible to change the BBC plugin to allow lower quality downloads sometime today as the programme that's over 4gb which won't download expires around midnight (Friday night).<br />
I hope it's possible.<br />
Very best wishes!!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Thank you for all your efforts with this.<br />
The lower quality addition would be a huge bonus too!<br />
Very best wishes ;-)]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ The only place where I could find a counter that might have something to do with this was the "bytes received" counter in the RTMP plugin. It's a 32-bit integer. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately the RTMP protocol specifies that it's a 32-bit integer, and changing all internal handling of this counter to long doesn't change anything, as it still has to be casted to int in the end.<br />
<br />
I doubt Flash Player can handle this video properly either, but testing it involves watching this 4-hour program. (I actually watched more than half of it last Friday. :-) ) I might end up having to do that though.<br />
<br />
If I can't solve this by Saturday, I'll post a BBC plugin that will download a lower quality stream for you.]]></description>
