A BBC page failing to load.
Could someone please try this for me, before I think about submitting a bug request, in case I'm doing something silly? Trying to load http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/womanshour (I was trying to download the podcast for S(WMBO)+(WILAC) ) NetSurf r10504 on RISC OS 5.16 gets stuck on this machine with the little NetSurf hourglass running at the stage of converting bytes (the number is about 5000 -8000 and varies). I've waited for over a minute, and nothing gets loaded. All the other BBC programme sites I've tried work as they should do. The same thing happens with 2.0, and with 1.2 it gets up to about converting 16000 bytes, and then stops with no hourglass. NetSurf then refuses to quit; I had to use CloseFiles to close the logfile before I could save it, which I have done. I think I blame the BBC rather than NetSurf; is it worth a bug report? It loads fine in Windows Firefox, by the way. With best wishes, Peter. -- Peter, \ / zfc Yb \ Prestbury, Cheltenham, Glos.

Try getting her indoors to request the page :-) -- Richard Porterhttp://www.minijem.plus.com/ mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com Confidentiality statement: Imagine 50 lines of pointless verbiage.

Without changing my NetSurf, Woman's hour daily programme announcement has not loaded correctly for some weeks, symptoms much the same as you report, I think the problem is at their end.
