Hello get_iplayer-3.18 (yes, i know it is not the latest) aperiodically while downloading a media file will drop the connection, reconnect and upon reconnecting starts re downloading from Zero bytes. it just did it on a file that was 95% complete over 4GB all ready downloaded upon reconnecting it began downloading all over again from the beginning. What causes this to happen? I am not asking that it be "solved". I would just like to know why it happens. -- terry l. ridder ><> ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
