  • BBC i player download question - basic

    I want to download the Terry Pratchett Dimbleby lecture and clicked on download button on screen for 529 mb.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...ds_with_Death/

    Sorry to be so basic but...where does it download to? Cannot find on my computer. Do I have to insert a CD rom or DVD or something to download on to? OK to just keep on my computer.

    Thanks for any advice.

    I think you need to download the download manager Liz, before you download any programmes. The programme will be stored there and deleted automatically after (I think) 7 days. I do have this on my computer as I was part of the original trials for the new service before it went live. Although I don't use it anymore, as I tend to just watch it straight off IPlayer - something you couldn't do during the testing period.

        Thank you Velma...I think I have downloaded that software...must find it. Does it mean you can only save it for 7 days and not keep permanently?

        Update: yes it is there.

          No, you can't keep it permanently using this method.

              I may be wrong ,but if you select your choice on the web site then select more and choose windows media player you can then save to a folder of your choice and keep as ; long as you like.
