"iPlayer, how ironical"

Ironical is a word isnt it? Anyway for a month now I've not been able to download anything from the iPlayer. I think my troubles began when I downloaded the latest Windows Media Player (which I thought would improve the iPlayer) and then I kept getting these stupid DRM errors. I searched their support for some help but it still won't work so I gave up.

So now because of the stupid DRM errors, I'm having to download episodes of Top Gear and Dr Who from a private torrent site instead.

The newest one, I think it's 11.

@Hedfix & Vampyr

Yeah I'll watch programs on the site but if its a show I really like like Dr Who, I'd like to download it and see it in better quality.

Though I noticed last week that they've changed the site and made the screens bigger so it's not too bad now. :)

A warning letter is better then being sued :) I don't download music anymore, or movies. I tell a lie, I do download Hong Kong, Korean and Japanese movies still. I love watching old Godzilla movies ^^
