I went on iplayer last night and the servers were extremely busy, i know this because i kept refreshing the timed out pages for loading and the iplayer busy server appeared. In the end i had to download the program i wanted to watch this took 20 mins. At busy times i find it better to download the program i want to watch.0

Is your Flash player up to date?
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
There was a new version/update about the middle (ish) of last month I think.Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB

Cant be a problem with the flash player as he can play the intro.

Got any other programs running or anything affecting bandwith or flow of data? Have u tried iplayer off peak as its getting more popular and busy servers?0 -

The reason I mentioned it was because I had a problem with the iPlayer glitching and freezing after a few seconds playback for a little while until I updated it to the latest.Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB

The BBC website and iPlayer were the victims of a Distributed Denial Of Service (DDOS) attack last night.0 -

MANY THANKS TO EVERYONE!
A friend of mine had an idea, he suggested uninstalling flash player using its own uninstaller then re installing again.
Works fine now on Mozilla and on the H.Q.version as well!never put off buying a bargain today,it may be gone tomorrow0
