Greetings,

I have been in contact with the author of IPlayerDownLoader, outlining my
problems as sent to the AccessUK and BCAB groups,  I paste in the text of
his reply.  I am removing his contact details for brevity's sake.

Hi,

I think it was probably just the large number of comments on the page.
I've archived the old comments now.

Have a look here for more information:

From Colin Howard, who lives near Southampton in 
Southern England and though down here, Christmas may be 
"Green" in terms of a respite from the cold weather, 
won't be "Green" because his favourite news reader 
Charlotte Green, who reads the news on Radio 4 is 
likely to be missing into the New Year, because she 
has a problem which may result in her needing 
attention to her hip.  Colin is really missing his 
Green voice and hopes we shall have her back soon.  
Meanwhile, Colin hopes all will have an enjoyable 
Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.
