Funny you should say this, as the other evening, I decided to listen
to the Torchwood radio plays from R4, and the last two of them showed
exactly te effect you described toward the end of the items, indeed
the final one gave up completely during the closing announcements.

FWIW My ISP is investigating as they've had a number of reports similar
to our experiences, but at present my diagnosis seems plausible. No idea
if this means the problem will clear up once 'Wimbledon' vanishes from
the iPlayer, though. Hope so - but if it does, what does that imply
about when we have other popular events?

I've now had a response from a contact involved in providing the iPlayer.
This is to the effect that the problems seem to be a bottleneck with some
specific ISPs collecting streams from the BBC servers, not the servers
themselves. So I am following this up with my ISP and asking them to check
the situation with their upstream suppliers, etc.

Slainte,
