    Apologies for the people that don't use BBC iPlayer - but I reckon its a pretty big site site. It has been broken for two weeks. Yea two weeks! How many web sites do you know that have millions of users and are broken for two weeks - and allegedly have talented developers? The downloads have been broken (go to any program, click download options and try). All it does is provide a download link and they cannot fix it... Anyone know why - has their development department left?

        I've been using it happily during that period - what do you think is wrong with it?

          The download don't work. If you go here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01cmqdc/Panorama\_Britains\_Hidden\_Alcoholics/ Click 'download options' and then 'for windows media player' then it just spins. They have commented on it here: http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/help/announcements/wmv_portable_feb2012[^] They have been 'testing' for a week...
