I just tried hafhigh1 to get last night's Prom. Again this gave me the
500
error, but completed OK regardless. Given what you wrote about CDNs I
noticed that the progress line showed "(hafhigh1/ak) after the ETA. I don't
know what the "ak" means there but it made me wonder if I was still getting
contact with Akamai?
FWIW The error gets reported before the download commences.
I'll try other mode specs when I get a chance and see if I can vary the
behaviour.
Your CDNs are in a different order from mine. For television for most
programmes I have
hvfhd1 BIDI (bi)
hvfhd2 Limelight (ll)
hvfhd3 Akamai (ak)
BIDI is the BBC's own CDN.

It may only be available in some areas and for some modes. If a CDN is
not present the other suffixes will be reduced, so for radio there may
only be hafhigh1 and hafhigh2.
Try --radiomode=hafhigh2 to see whether that gives you Limelight.
Best wishes
Richard
