A footnote to this. I've realised that my problem really started when I
amended my batch files to download HLS streams rather than FLV. I did
this originally because HLS seems to be faster and I can ensure HD is
downloaded where applicable, as --tvmode=best sometimes gave SD where HD
was available. I've just had a programme download stall 3 or 4 times on
HLS download but when I tried FLV it all went smoothly. So maybe the HLS
route is more prone to stalled downloads.

I'm not sure it's a problem with your connection. I use a VPS which
has, I believe, reliable and fast bandwidth (downloading a 91M package
just now I got 7.34 megabytes/second) and I often see problems with
stalled downloads.
I have wondered if it's related to time of day, but it seems to occur
with similar frequency when I download during weekday daytime.
I usually see various kinds of RTMP errors, but I'm not familiar with
RTMP to understand what they are telling me - I just restart and retry
until successful.
As another data point, I get similar issues when trying to using
get_flash_videos (which uses rtmpdump behind the scenes) so it's not
just BBC/iPlayer or rtmpdump related.

Hi, I quite often end up with incomplete mp4 files. I put it down to
either a failure at the BBC end, servers overloaded and the like or my
quite poor ADSL connection.

Is anyone else having problems with stalled TV downloads?
I've had a couple over the last 48 hours that have stalled and not
finished downloading (ended up with small mp4 files being saved that I
knew were wrong).
Not sure on the exact problem though as removing them from the
download_history and running my script again downloaded them OK.
