castanyes blaves

I've tried the BBC iPlayer for Linux this afternoon, and started downloading stuff into my Ubuntu laptop for my Christmas journey.



Word of caution: the player will complain that you have reached the download limit very soon,

unless you go to Settings and define a bigger "Hard disk space allocated".



I haven't found any glitches or problems so far, apart from the fact that one cannot download stuff that is

older than a given date. I wanted to get the full collection of "Stephen Fry in America" but I can only

download the latest one. Ugggh!

Thanks British Broadcasting Corporation for this Christmas gift!

Update: I've been pointed to the wonderful alternative called get_iplayer.pl, which provides even more functionality than the Windows and Mac official players...
