Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

I ended up watching the program (Wire in the Blood - 90mins) directly through iView with no hiccups.

"Your line speed is 7.96 Mbps (7964 kbps)"

ISP is Internode.

I've very rarely experienced any problem with iView. Only apparent ones indicated iView was down.
Your download rate is a little slow, but I don't think that is the problem.

Yes, it is frustrating to track down just where problems can be. My recent problem was with iiNet's BoB2 modem which handled rtmpdump downloads from elsewhere*, but gave incredibly poor experience when downloading from iView (though the ABC player seemed quite OK). I could change to another modem, and get 100% smooth and quick downloading with (say) iViewNapper.

Updating the firmware on the BoB2 modem completely fixed the problem.
