Dear All,
I was successfully using GiP 2.99 on my Windows XP machine but, on the
advice of people here, upgraded to 3.00 because I stopped being able to
download programmes in "hlsstd" mode. Unfortunately, things have gone from
bad to worse as a result of upgrading. Not only is "hlsstd" mode still
unavailable, but when I try to download in the next smallest size,
"hlsvhigh", I get an error. Eg, this is the result of trying to download
last night's edition of "Masterchef":

Downloading in "hlshd" mode does work, but I have a relatively slow Internet
connection, and the HD version of the programme is too big and too slow to
download.
Can anyone help me out with this, please? Why is the "hlsvhigh" download
failing? Is there any other mode I can use to get a file smaller than the HD
version? I should note that all "hlsvhigh" downloads worked absolutely fine
with GiP 2.99.
Thanks!
Chris
