I am wondering if this is a DOS attack - after all very powerful people were embarrassed by this programme. It aired a few weeks ago in the USA on PBS.
But now I am trying to get this prog. using get_iplayer. However the Beeb server keeps dropping packets. I've attempted this at least 30 times - with similar crashes. I'm using the Windows-based version. Would the command-based version be better?
