Hi everyone Until this morning I have been happily able to download old radio broadcasts from all stations on the BBC radio iplayer, using FRD. This morning I have received only ERROR messages on all attempts, and have also downloaded the latest version (FreeRapid-0.9u4) with no luck. Has the BBC made some alteration to their website, and will FRD be able to find a plugin to cope with it? Hopefully Micky https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15534/_subject_#msg-15534 Sun, 12 Apr 2026 01:33:02 +0000 Phorum 5.2.10 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/17829/_subject_#msg-17829 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/17829/_subject_#msg-17829
Problems using FRD for bbc in Portugal again.

Worked fine last week, but now whenever I try downloading BBC radio progs the programme freezes and I get the "fatal error" message.

Any ideas?

Best

First time I've tried the TV option for ages. I either get ERROR or a download completed instantly with 0 MB.

This is the prog:

[www.bbc.co.uk]

Have BBC managed to scupper downloading abroad now?

Can you try to download this one: [www.bbc.co.uk], it works fine without Tor. If it's ok (no freeze, successfully downloaded) without Tor, then try to download it with Tor enabled.]]> tong2shot FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins Wed, 04 Mar 2015 15:18:35 +0000 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15950/_subject_#msg-15950 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15950/_subject_#msg-15950 micky FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins Wed, 04 Mar 2015 15:12:30 +0000 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15949/_subject_#msg-15949 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15949/_subject_#msg-15949

All very strange though. First bit of major trouble with this.]]> micky FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins Wed, 04 Mar 2015 14:57:45 +0000 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15947/_subject_#msg-15947 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15947/_subject_#msg-15947
You might want to delete 'tor-gb' directory in your FRD config directory, to get fresh Tor nodes, if you enable Tor in the plugin's option.

You'll probably have a better luck if you have access to a stable UK proxy or VPN. UK Tor exit node seems unstable these days.]]> tong2shot FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins Wed, 04 Mar 2015 13:25:14 +0000 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15946/_subject_#msg-15946 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15946/_subject_#msg-15946

When I click on it, it sort of shudders but does not open up the options.

Everything else appears normal in that I can download from YouTube etc, but BBC radio and TV just show an immediate ERROR message and a renewal countdown of 1.30 which can be reduced to 4 secs by the resume button.]]> micky FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins Wed, 04 Mar 2015 12:21:30 +0000 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15941/_subject_#msg-15941 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15941/_subject_#msg-15941
Is the 'Options' button enabled or disabled (greyed out)?]]> tong2shot FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins Wed, 04 Mar 2015 12:13:52 +0000 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15940/_subject_#msg-15940 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15940/_subject_#msg-15940
I have also rebooted to see if that affects anything.

This is the first time that the Options button on BBC plugins preferences has failed to respond.]]> micky FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins Wed, 04 Mar 2015 12:02:37 +0000 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15939/_subject_#msg-15939 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15939/_subject_#msg-15939 tong2shot FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins Wed, 04 Mar 2015 11:51:58 +0000 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15938/_subject_#msg-15938 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15938/_subject_#msg-15938
Well I've deleted the last version I downloaded and started again.

There was still a threat warning which I overruled.

No change unfortunately and the OPTIONS button for bbc plugins still won't respond. What's gone wrong?]]> micky FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins Wed, 04 Mar 2015 11:38:42 +0000 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15937/_subject_#msg-15937 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15937/_subject_#msg-15937
If you downloaded from official download page: [wordrider.net], it's safe, just make sure the MD5 hash of file you downloaded matches with the one stated on the official download page.]]> tong2shot FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins Wed, 04 Mar 2015 11:11:22 +0000 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15936/_subject_#msg-15936 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15936/_subject_#msg-15936
'Options' on bbc plugins does not now seem to be functioning and I therefore cannot change Kbps.

When I downloaded the latest version of FRD my antivirus programme detected something and shutdown the computer. Perhaps this has something to do with the latest problem. It had been working fine up until Monday night, so I find it hard to understand why it all suddenly went pear-shaped.]]> micky FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins Wed, 04 Mar 2015 10:54:08 +0000 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15935/_subject_#msg-15935 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15935/_subject_#msg-15935
If you use UK IP address (or via proxy, or VPN, or TOR, etc), you'll find 2 RTMP streams : 48 Kbps, and 128 Kbps, supplied by limelight.]]> tong2shot FreeRapid Downloader - Plugins Wed, 04 Mar 2015 10:38:43 +0000 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15931/_subject_#msg-15931 https://wordrider.net/forum/10/15534/15931/_subject_#msg-15931

Radio programmes will not download with TOR disabled either.

Many thanks for your help: much appreciated.

Thanks for your reply.

Just downloaded v1.2.7 with no difference.

Please bear with an illiterate but not sure what you mean by app.log - how to I find and attach this?

Also programme freezes when I try and download from bbc now and I have to close using alt-ctrl-delete.

Cheers
