I've been trying to download a large programme (around 6GB) and it barfs
at the 4GB point using win7x64.
I remembered I had this problem last year with some large Wimbledon
programmes and the only solution that worked then was using a Linux
installation (at that time Linux Mint-16 32 bit. Only problem is that
the PC I was using then is no longer alive, so it's been a case of
installing Linux (Mint-17.1 64 bit) onto a different PC. Oh boy, I now
remember why I loathe Linux so much, it's like pulling teeth without
anaesthetic..... :-(
I've tried to follow the installation instructions as closely as
possible bearing in mind I might as well be reading Chinese but after
umpteen iterations to download and install things that the system seemed
to be telling me it needed, I'm still hitting a brick wall.
This is the output I'm getting on using the command line instruction
get_iplayer --tvmode=best --get 493

ERROR: Failed to record 'Eurovision Song Contest: 2015 - 4. Grand Final
(b05wplpd)'
I've run and rerun the latest installer and XML::Simple (I get
XML::Simple is up to date. (2.20) but to no avail.
If I'd had a pointed head prior to all of this, it sure as heck would be
well and truly blunted by now... Can anyone help please, in PLAIN ENGLISH?
Thx
Alan
